A sandy beach in Strandparken, a marina with sailing opportunities and several works of art give Vallensbæk a range of different attractions for a stay. Vallensbæk Strand is part of Strandparken on Køge Bugt. When looking for accommodation in Vallensbæk, you can first decide whether to focus primarily on the beach and swimming, trails or art.

Beach and swimming facilities

Vallensbæk Strand is a sandy beach and once again received the Blue Flag for the 2026 season. The beach has accessible bathing jetties. The Valhal swimming facility invites visitors to swim in summer and winter; its amenities include an outdoor pool, a cold shower and a toilet. If you are planning to visit Valhal on a specific swimming day, check the current opening hours in advance.

Haveje Strandparken is located near Vallensbæk Strand and is open during the summer season, serving burgers, homemade lemonade, ice cream and more.

Choose your route

The Vallensbæk Clover Trails comprise four marked routes of varying lengths and themes. The Strandparkstien is 7.6 kilometers long. In and around Vallensbæk, the Vestegnsruten passes close to Vallensbæk Strand and is suitable for walks, running and cycling. There is also an approximately 2-kilometer circular route around Ringebæk Sø that starts at Havnevej. If you want to compare specific route lengths when planning, you can compare the Strandparkstien with the circular route around Ringebæk Sø; the Clover Trails, by contrast, vary in length and theme.

Harbor and history

Vallensbæk Harbor is a marina with good sailing opportunities. It was built by sailors who had previously anchored in Køge Bugt. By the harbor is a maritime playground featuring the sunken fishing boat “Noa,” a lighthouse with an observation platform and a two-meter-high slide.

Art in Vallensbæk

PULS, an exhibition venue for video art called “Under Broerne,” is located at Vallensbæk Station. PULS opened in April 2025 and primarily shows contemporary art. PULS also occasionally screens films throughout the year about and from Vallensbæk’s clubs and community activities. Vallensbæk Station itself is an S-train station on the Køge Bugt railway line.

In front of Vallensbæk Station is the artwork “Multitudes”: it consists of four concrete blocks with amethysts cast into them. On Vallensbæk Havnevej, an artificial erratic boulder is part of Camilla Berner’s artwork “Flyttet Istid.” It marks the original coastline of Vallensbæk Strand. Its surface, covered with a self-luminous coating, can appear as a glowing monument in the dark hours in Strandparken. The contrast is clear: “Multitudes” works with concrete and amethysts, while “Flyttet Istid” references the former coastline and can glow in the dark.
