Siljansbadet beach near the campsite

A short walk of around 1 km takes you to Siljansbadet and Långbryggan, where you’ll find a beautiful sandy beach with exceptionally shallow water. If you don’t fancy wading a couple of hundred metres before the water reaches your waist, you can instead take a dip from one of the many bathing platforms located at different depths along Långbryggan.

 

Långbryggan is 628 metres long and offers a lovely walk with beautiful views. Along the pier, you’ll find several benches as well as smaller bathing platforms on either side. At the far end, the M/S Gustav Wasa docks during its summer cruises on Lake Siljan. Next to the entrance to Långbryggan, you’ll find Sjövillan restaurant, with a lovely outdoor terrace overlooking the beach and pier.

 

At the northern end of the beach, you’ll find Strandrestaurangen and our sister campsite, Siljansbadets Camping. There is also a small shop, mini golf, a volleyball net and a playground right next to the beach. At the shop at Siljansbadet, you can buy drinks, sweets, ice cream, snacks and more. You can also hire pedal go-karts, pedal boats and bicycles if you’d like to explore the surrounding area. At the southern end of the beach lies “Helsingland”, a grassy headland that’s perfect for sunbathing, swimming and picnics. There are also a few places where boats can moor.

 

The beach enjoys sunshine throughout the day, and in the evening you can often enjoy a beautiful sunset. If you prefer some shade, there is vegetation that provides shelter from the sun.

 

You’ll find a dog-friendly swimming area in the bay directly to the north, between First Camp Siljansbadet and Rättvik Church.
