The perfect swimming spot for the whole family
Sandviksbadet is located in Björklinge, just west of Söderfors, and is one of Uppsala County’s best-kept public beaches. It’s a classic community beach that never feels crowded — there’s plenty of room for swimmers, families with children, and anyone looking for a quiet corner by the water.
More than just water
The beach has everything you’d expect: changing rooms, toilets, shower facilities and a cosy kiosk with friendly, attentive staff. For the little ones there’s both a playground and a dog swimming area — yes, your four-legged friend can take a dip too. For those who fancy a bit of adventure, there’s a diving tower out in the water.
Volleyball nets, equipment rental and plenty of tables and benches make it easy to settle in for the day. And parking? Completely free, and there’s always space.
Highly rated by regular visitors
With an average of 4.3 stars from nearly 300 reviews, Sandviksbadet is well loved. Visitors particularly praise the spacious grounds, the friendly service and the fact that it never feels overcrowded. Water quality is often very good, and many people come back again and again.
One thing to know: Canada geese drop by now and then, but that’s just nature at the beach.
Open year-round
The beach is open 24/7, so you can take an early morning dip or have breakfast by the water if you fancy it. Call or check Uppsala municipality’s website for information on water quality and seasonal activities.
