About Lövnäsbadet Naturist beach
Lövnäsbadet is a bathing place on Lake Yngern, south-west of Stockholm, in the forested lake country between Södertälje, Nykvarn and Järna. The site has a textile (clothed) bathing area and a separate section used for nude bathing, and photo captions from visitors distinguish the two parts. Yngern is a large, clear-water lake, and the clarity of the water is what travel writers single out when recommending it to nude bathers. It is not one of the Stockholm region's officially designated naturist beaches, but English-language and Swedish travel guides regularly list it among the places where people bathe nude near the capital. SwimCheck classes it as a simple bathing place rather than a serviced beach; water quality is tested regularly in summer and recent results have been rated safe.
Getting there
Lövnäsbadet lies on the shore of Yngern in the countryside between Södertälje, Nykvarn and Järna, and is most easily reached by car or bicycle; no public-transport details were found. The nude section is separate from the textile area; follow the shore away from the main bathing place. No parking cost or accessibility details were found.
What visitors say
The few public descriptions agree that the water is unusually clear and the setting quiet and green. It is presented as a local alternative to Ågesta for nude bathing southwest of Stockholm. Too little review material was found to describe the crowd in detail.

Legal context
Swedish law has no general ban on nude bathing; behaviour that causes public offence or sexual harassment can still be prosecuted under the Criminal Code. Lövnäsbadet's nude section is customary rather than formally designated; no municipal decision or signage was found (2026).
Naturism at Lövnäsbadet Naturist beach sits under Sweden's rules for traditional tolerance — custom more than statute.
