Out at the edge of Fornebu, you'll find this beach with a wide-open view. There's plenty of space to lounge, the water is usually clear, and there are nice trails along the coast if you feel like walking. It's got modern facilities like toilets and showers, but it still feels like a little getaway from the city buzz. Easy to reach by bus or bike.

Pack a bag with good food and drinks and find a spot on the grass behind the beach.
