Pålsjöbaden — nude sea baths & sauna
Helsingborg, Skåne
A classic wooden cold-bath house on Helsingborg’s waterfront, with nude sea bathing, saunas and sheltered decks overlooking Öresund. Most sessions use separate women’s and men’s sides, while scheduled mixed evenings let groups share the sauna and sea-bathing experience.
Nudity policy
Nude baths; normally separate sides
The city states that visitors bathe and use the sauna without swimwear. Women and men normally use separate fenced bathing sides. The café is clothed.
