Hovedøya

Oslo

🚌 Boat from Aker brygge, about eight minutes.

Idyllic island eight minutes by boat from Aker Brygge, with several lovely spots for swimming and sunbathing (sand, smooth rocks and grassy areas), a kiosk/café by the monastery ruins, and accessible toilets in summer. There is a universally accessible walkway of about 150 metres from the boat to the beach, going around the hill where the café and monastery ruins stand. At the Lindøysund bathing area there are four toilets and one accessible toilet.
