# Štrand City Beach

Also called: Štrand, Strand.

Štrand is the city beach of Novi Sad, on the Danube near the Freedom Bridge, and its name comes straight from the German word Strand. It opened officially in 1911 on a sandbar called Poloj that had served to water livestock and then held Stengl's bathing place, with separate sections for men and women; an organised lifeguard and swimming instruction service followed in 1912. The beach runs 700 metres and covers about 14 hectares, half sand and half green, with more than 830 cabins and over 400 trees, and it draws more than a million visitors between May and September. During the raid of January 1942, Hungarian forces brought arrested Serbs and Jews to the entrance of Štrand and killed them at the water's edge, pushing the bodies under the Danube ice.
