Updated: Sep 30

When the temperature gets comfortable, there are many nice places to swim in the local area of Asker and Bærum municipalities. Here are 9 of the best beaches for sunbathing and swimming.



Storøyodden beach

Storøyodden bath at Fornebu is a large open area with spacious grassy plains, sandy beaches, kiosks, toilets, and bathing jetty. The area is set up as it was before the airport development, with wetlands and trees and shrubs typical of the area. The sandy beach is newly constructed. Although many people live nearby, there is room for everyone even in high season. Plenty of hiking opportunities. Kid-friendly. Read more about Storøya and Nansenparken here.

Kalvøya (Isle of calves)

Kalvøya just outside Sandvika was in its time purchased as a free area for the population of Bærum. Here you can hike on nice hiking trails, take a swim from the beaches or sunbathe on the large grassy plains. On the east side, there is a sheltered beach for those who want to sunbathe naked.

Kadettangen

The Kadettangen outside Sandvika was reopened last year after the area had been used for the landfill from work on the tunnel to E-16 under Sandvika center towards Hønefoss. Thanks to a large amount of rock and gravel, the sandy beach has become much larger, longer, and better. In addition, a nice park, a large swan-shaped plunge tower, kiosk, toilets, wardrobes, and children's playground have been created. Read more about Kadettangen here.


Hvalstrand

Hvalstrand has always been and remains one of the most popular bathing areas in Asker and Bærum.
