Östra Holmen, just 3 km from Elbakajen and 1 km from Öster Mälarstrand, has long been a favourite place for the inhabitants of Västerås to swim and sunbathe.

 

There are beeches, naturist beeches, cliffs, jetties, shallow beaches, showers, drinking water and a 2.5-km footpath with some wonderful views.

 

There is a regular ferryboat service here during the summer months if you don’t have your own boat.
