Islands Brygge

A harbor bath was an unfamiliar concept to me, until I took a stroll down the canal to Islands Brygge — making me wonder how I ever did summer without them. This freebie is perfect for a sunny day with five pools, three diving boards, and a large, grassy pavilion where you can bask in the glory of the (somewhat rare) Danish sunshine. It’s more than taking a dip: it’s a full-on social outing, often full of portable grill setups and people playing yard games.
