The Good
- Diverse Crowd: At the northern end, there's a dedicated nude beach area that's particularly popular with the LGBTQ+ community. It's a welcoming spot where everyone fits in, and even though nudity is allowed on all beaches and parks in Denmark, this place attracts a dedicated nude crowd.
- Very Convenient: It's really easy to get to from Copenhagen, just a quick train ride to Klampenborg Station and you're practically there. Perfect for a spontaneous beach day.
- Decent Amenities: While it's not super fancy, you've got what you need – lifeguards for safety, showers to cool off, and even some loungers if you're not all about lying on a towel all day.
- Cool Design History: The place was designed by the famous Arne Jacobsen in the '30s, so there are these very iconic blue and white towers that add a bit of character to your beach backdrop.
- Lively and Fun: Known for its energetic vibe and lively gatherings, Bellevue Beach is the go-to for fun-seekers. While the nude beach section tends to attract a somewhat older crowd, it's still buzzing with activity and a great place to socialize.
The Bad
- Can Get Crowded: It's a popular place, so expect it to get busy, especially when the sun's out and everyone wants a piece of the beach. Summer doesn't last long in Denmark and when it warm everyone flocks to the beach
- Privacy Issues: With its popularity, especially in a bustling city like Copenhagen, first-timers might find it less private than desired. However, the crowd is usually respectful and friendly.
- Windy at Times: The beach can be a bit breezy, which is great for cooling off but not always ideal for swimming.
- Limited Facilities in the Nude Area: The amenities are decent, but the nude section doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the main beach.
- Close to Clothes: The nudist area is part of a larger beach, so you'll be near clothed beachgoers. It's all chill, but something to keep in mind if you're looking for a more secluded nudist experience.

The Naked Truth
Bellevue Beach is pretty much the go-to nude beach around Copenhagen, buzzing with a super diverse crowd, especially popular with the LGBTQ+ folks. If you're picturing a quiet, hidden-away kind of place, this might not hit the mark. But, the awesome vibes and friendly people make it a spot you don't want to miss. It's got this cool mix of old-school design thanks to Arne Jacobsen and a modern, fun-loving atmosphere. Sure, it's popular, so you'll be sharing the beach with a bunch of others, nudies and non-nudies alike. If you're up for a lively day at the beach and don't mind a short trip from the city, Bellevue's nude section is totally worth it. Just a heads up, it can get a bit crowded and breezy, so a little chill goes a long way!
Insider Tip
Bring a towel or sarong that you can easy put on to get food or drinks. Whilst the refreshments are sold in the nude area, most people here are clothed.

We just had a day out at Bellevue Beach, and honestly, it's every bit as amazing as they say – easily one of the top city nude beaches in the world. There's a vibe here that's hard to find anywhere else. Maybe it's the laid-back Danish approach to nudity, where any beach can legally be a nude beach, but Bellevue? This place is special; it's where you really feel at home, and no one cares if you're naked or not.

We just had a day out at Bellevue Beach, and honestly, it's every bit as amazing as they say – easily one of the top city nude beaches in the world. There's a vibe here that's hard to find anywhere else. Maybe it's the laid-back Danish approach to nudity, where any beach can legally be a nude beach, but Bellevue? This place is special; it's where you really feel at home, and no one cares if you're naked or not.
Our visit on a bright, sunny weekend started off on a calm note. The crowd was mostly older, soaking up the chill beach atmosphere, with a sprinkle of younger couples adding a bit of diversity to the scene. But as the afternoon faded into evening, the whole place shifted gears. Younger groups began to fill the space, music started floating through the air, and the laid-back morning vibe gave way to an energetic, party-like atmosphere. And yeah, it definitely fills up quickly, so snagging a good spot can get a bit competitive.
The beach itself is spacious, but the majority of the people on the long beach are clothed. So if you're shy or a first-timer, this could freak you out a little. It's kind of like there's an invisible line drawn on the northern section where suddenly everyone is nude. Bellevue Beach itself has a bit of a retro vibe, thanks to those iconic blue and white towers designed by the legendary Arne Jacobsen. It adds a quirky touch to the whole experience. Hungry? There's no shortage of local spots to grab a bite, so you're set for a full day of lazing in the sun. When we went, everyone was clothed, buying food from the beach vendor - so keep in mind you may need to throw on a towel (at the very least) unless you want to be the only naked person in a sea of clothed families.
Getting to Bellevue Beach is a breeze, especially by train. Just a 20-minute ride from the city center to Klampenborg Station, and you're practically there – it's super convenient and by far the easiest way to go. Copenhagen's transit maps are simple to understand you just need to catch the orange train to the end of the line. Driving is an option too, but keep in mind, while there's free parking, it tends to fill up pretty fast, especially on warm beach days. So, if you're coming by car, maybe aim to get there a bit earlier to beat the rush.
Bellevue Beach is more than just a spot to sunbathe in the buff; it's about community, good vibes, and making the most of those rare sunny Danish days. This beach is an iconic European nude beach worth visiting. Whether you're a seasoned nude beach visitor or just curious, Bellevue welcomes you with open arms.Danish people know how to champion body positivity and inclusivity, it is a world class model that more countries should embrace. We just wish the beach season here was a bit longer and more predictable!
