We will be in Copenhagen during the long days of July during our 8-day trip. My husband wants to spend at least part of a day at a beach. Any mention of beaches in the Rick Steves Copenhagen Guidebook involve a half day or longer day journey.
Do you know of a nice beach close to the city that is accessible by public transportation?
Yes, several. The largest being Amager Strandpark, reachable on the metro.
Smaller beaches north of the city centre and in the northern suburbs, reachable by bus/S-train: Svanemøllestranden, Hellerup Strand, Charlottenlund Strandpark and Bellevue Strand.

Half day journey?? is that on foot??? Klampenborg, north side of city is 17 minutes by regioanl train from main station and less from Osterport with the station almost on the beach!
