What makes Kärsön (gay beach) stand out

Kärsön is an unspoilt bathing spot on Lake Mälaren that QX lists as a gay beach. There’s no infrastructure, so bring your own food and drink. The last stretch is on foot through the woods.

A good fit if you …

  • are looking for a quiet bathing spot outside the city in summer

Not ideal if you …

  • expect a kiosk, toilets or sun loungers
Our tip: Bring water and snacks, there’s nothing to buy on site.
