Kanaanbadet

The beach is not far west of Blackeberg in the Hässelby-Vällingby area and is a part of the Grimsta nature reserve.

The old tavern was torn down in 1881 and "the king of Swedish snuff" Knut Ljunglöf built a house & since 1952 it has been known as the Kanaan Cafe.

Nowadays the beach is a popular place to go for people living west of Stockholm and it is often crowded on hot summer days.

Sweden's first youth center was opened here in 1933 and during World War II it was a standby station for officers.

Kannan's allotment gardens are located about 1km from the beach and consist of a field and 31 cottages surrounding it.
