Charlottenlund Palace is a yellow Baroque manor house on the Øresund coast, built in the early 18th century and used for centuries as a summer residence by the Danish royal family. The palace itself is not open to visitors — it serves as a private residence — but the surrounding park and beach are freely accessible and heavily used by locals from spring through autumn.
The palace grounds include a formal garden, a woodland walk down to the beach, and a campsite that operates in summer. The beach at Charlottenlund is one of the most popular in the Copenhagen city region: sandy and shallow, with a changing facilities, a cafe, and the Danmarks Akvarium (Blue Planet's predecessor, now relocated). The water is clean and swimmable from June through August; water temperatures typically reach 18–20°C in mid-summer.
For architecture, the exterior is best seen from the garden side: the yellow plasterwork and Dutch-influenced roofline are well-preserved. The beach is a 5-minute walk from Charlottenlund S-tog station.
