   Charlottenlund Slot grounds

   The 17th-c royal residence (built for Princess Charlotte Amalie, hence the name) is now a Danish research institution. No public access to the building, but the grounds are open — lawns, trees, the small canal that frames the slot.

   Charlottenlund Strandpark

   The beach east of the slot. Slow-curve sand, fine for swimming June–September, walkable year-round. Less famous than *Amager Strand* but quieter; the locals know it. A small pavilion at the southern end.

   Small working harbour a short walk south along the coast. A few fishing boats, the seasonal *Skovshoved Fisk* fish stall in summer. The harbour wall has the better view back at the Copenhagen skyline.

   Arne Jacobsen petrol station

   *Skovshoved Tankstation*, *Arne Jacobsen* 1937, on *Kystvejen* a short walk inland from the harbour. The mushroom-canopy in white concrete is one of Jacobsen's earliest mature works. Restored in the 2000s as a working café (the pumps are decorative); sit outside under the canopy with a coffee.
