Local tips
- Bring swim shoes if you have sensitive feet, as the seabed near the jetty can have stones, shells and seaweed before it becomes more comfortable further out.
- Pack your own snacks, drinks and a towel; immediate facilities at the jetty are minimal, though small shops and cafés are available within walking distance in Strøby Egede.
- Be aware that dogs are allowed in the area and may use the shore or water; if this could bother you, consider visiting outside peak afternoon hours.
- In cooler seasons, bring warm layers and non-slip footwear, as wind on the open jetty can make the air feel much colder and the planks can be slippery.

Getting There
-
Regional train and local bus from Copenhagen
From central Copenhagen, take a regional train toward Næstved or Ringsted and get off at Køge Station; the ride usually takes around 35–45 minutes and a standard adult ticket typically costs about 70–100 DKK one way. From Køge, continue by local bus toward Strøby Egede, with services generally running several times an hour and taking 15–25 minutes, adding around 25–40 DKK. From the nearest stop in Strøby Egede, expect a short walk through the neighbourhood to reach Strandparksvej and the jetty; pavements are generally good, but the final stretch to the shore may be on compacted paths or grass.
-
Car from Køge or Copenhagen area
Driving from Køge town centre to Strøby Egede typically takes 10–20 minutes depending on traffic, while the journey from Copenhagen often takes about 45–60 minutes. There is on-street parking in the residential area near Strandparksvej, usually free but sometimes limited on warm summer days when more people head for the water. The final access to the jetty is on foot over level ground; be prepared for short unpaved sections near the shore and remember that parking rules in residential streets are enforced.
-
Cycling along the Køge Bugt coastline
For a more active approach, cyclists can follow local cycle routes along the Køge Bugt coast from Køge toward Strøby Egede, a distance that usually takes around 25–40 minutes at a relaxed pace.

Seaside Jetty on the Shores of Køge Bugt
SEBG Badebro at Strandparksvej is a classic Danish bathing jetty stretching from the low, grassy shore of Strøby Egede into the sheltered waters of Køge Bugt. The structure is simple: a narrow wooden walkway built on piles, leading out beyond the band of stones and seaweed at the water’s edge to cleaner, deeper water. On calm days the surface of the bay is almost glassy, broken only by the wake of passing kayaks and paddleboards. The jetty sits in a residential stretch of coast, so the atmosphere feels quietly local rather than overtly touristic. You are never far from houses, gardens and small side streets, yet as you step onto the planks and walk toward the end, the focus shifts to the sea, the sky and the long curve of the bay in both directions.Everyday Danish Bathing Culture
Places like SEBG Badebro are part of an everyday bathing culture that runs deep in coastal Denmark. Locals slip down in the early morning with a towel over their shoulder, dip quickly in the cool brackish water, then head home for coffee. On bright summer afternoons, families arrive with bags of snacks, inflatable toys and folding chairs, turning the modest strip of shore into an informal beach club. The water close to shore is generally shallow, which suits wading children and cautious swimmers, while stronger swimmers use the end of the jetty as a starting point for longer strokes parallel to the coast. The setting is informal, with no lifeguards or built-up beach infrastructure; you are very much in a shared public space that relies on common sense and courtesy.Setting, Views and Seasonal Changes
From the end of the jetty, you look out over the open expanse of Køge Bugt, a broad inlet of the Baltic Sea. On clear days the horizon line feels wide and calm, with muted northern light reflecting off the water. To one side, the coastline bends toward Køge, with more small jetties punctuating the shore; to the other, the low-lying landscapes of Stevns begin to take shape. Seasons change the experience significantly. In high summer, the focus is on sun, swimming and long, mild evenings, when the light lingers over the bay and the planks of the jetty still hold the day’s warmth. In spring and autumn, hardy bathers arrive in robes and woolly hats, using the jetty as a launch point for brisk, cold-water dips. In winter, the shore is quieter, winds stronger and the jetty itself can be slippery with frost or ice.Practical Atmosphere and Shared Use
There is no formal entrance or ticketing here; the jetty is a straightforward, shared facility for local residents and visitors. Dogs are allowed in the area and sometimes join their owners for walks and even swims, which is something to bear in mind if you prefer a pet-free environment. The overall ambience is relaxed and casual, with a mix of individuals, couples and families using the space at different times of day. Facilities around the jetty are modest. You may find simple seating on the shore or bring your own blanket to spread on the grass or small patches of sand. Basic public amenities in the wider neighbourhood, together with local shops and cafés within walking distance, support a short visit or a longer seaside pause, but the jetty itself remains pleasingly low-key.Combining a Dip with Coastal Strolls
SEBG Badebro also works well as a stop along a broader walk or cycle ride following the coast south of Køge. The shoreline path and quiet local streets make it easy to incorporate a refreshing swim into a morning run or an afternoon outing. The regular pattern of small bathing jetties gives the area a distinctive rhythm, each one a slightly different vantage point over the bay. For those looking to experience everyday life by the Danish sea rather than a large developed beach, Strandparksvej’s bathing jetty offers a simple but characteristic slice of local coastal life: wooden planks underfoot, brackish water swirling around the ladder, gulls circling overhead and the low hum of the surrounding neighbourhood never too far away.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
