On what was perhaps one of the last sunny days of summer, Amy and I spent a day at Amager Strandpark, south of Copenhagen's city center. This long strip of land with sandy beach is a new people-made island. Fill dirt and sand were brought in to fix an earlier (1930's) attempt at beach-making which was too close to the shore and thus eroded very quickly. Amager Strand is an amazing place when the weather is nice. There is a really smooth concrete boardwalk that travels the whole strip of land for skating, biking, walking or whatnot. The city also built 5 sweet concrete pavilions that have look-out balconies and stairs to the beach on top and changing rooms, bathrooms and showers underneath. There are also plenty of kiosks and little bar/cafes set up for living it up. Link to a good map of the island here.
