This is not Amager strand!? It’s Vallensbæk strand

This is one of several observation points (including hides and towers) ringing the Klydesø lake reserve, a closed-off sanctuary known for its rich birdlife. The tower offers excellent views over the shallow, brackish water and the surrounding reed beds, making it ideal for observing a wide variety of breeding and migratory birds, including wading birds, geese, and raptors like the White-tailed Eagle.

The beach café in Brøndby is located directly on the beach and offers a cozy, family-friendly atmosphere all year round with breakfast, lunch, and cakes. There is a playground on site for families, and parking is available free of charge.
