As the summer is my favorite time of the year and that the beach is just 15 min bikeride away, I recommend Amager strand. Full of people usually though, but even so it gives a bit of an exotic touch to such a scandinavian city with the sea and the bright sand in the hot summer days.

Explore Copenhagen from the waterside. Fore me it's the best way to experience the waterfront of Copenhagen.  places like Christianshavn, Gl. Strand , Sydhavnen  or Refshaleøen offer many beautiful things to see. you can rent boats and kayaks in many places Harbour. Companys like; GoBoat, HeyCaptain, FriendShips rents out boats on an hourly basis Photo: © Ture Andersen

My regular spot... Lovely place for coffee, breakfast, lunch and dinner...

Up for tennis? Kløvermarkens Tennis Club is a magnificent club, surrounded by old fruit trees, located 5 minutes by bike from Christianshavn. The club was founded in 1926 and has today 12 clay courts and 3 indoor courts. Photo: © Ture Andersen

In the summertime you can take the Metro directly to the beach. And if you're over the crowded white trash tanning and blanket sex scene, enter the hidden away mens or womens area located in the big wooden beach bathhouse. Here you can lie naked and enjoy the sun on your private parts while reading a novel or surfing your iPad. Expect lots of gays and lesbos which can be a curse or a party depending on who you are as a person.
