Katten Beach
Katten Bad, Oslo, Norge 2 hours
Katten is a tiny beach gem hidden right below Mosseveien. It's not big, but you've got both sand and smooth rocks to choose from. It's a nice break from the city noise, even with the road right behind you. Perfect for dipping your toes in the water and just chilling out.
Why it works
It's simple and uncomplicated. You get a bit closer when you're sitting on the rocks watching the ferries go by.
What to order
Fill a thermos with coffee and bring some buns. That's all you need.
Best time to go
Early morning if you want the place to yourselves.
What it costs
Free
