Bygdøy Sjøbad
Bygdøy Sjøbad, Oslo, Norge 2 h 30 min
This is a little gem on the west side of Bygdøy. You can choose between sand between your toes or sitting on the rocks watching the ships go in and out of the fjord. It often feels a bit more chilled here than the bigger city beaches. The walk out there goes through the woods, which is a nice stroll on its own.
Why it works
The walk out to the beach gives you plenty of time to talk before you settle down to relax.
What to order
Stop by a bakery on your way out and grab some treats to bring along.
Best time to go
Late summer evenings when the sun starts to set.
What it costs
Free
