Huk is a parkland and a sandy beach (Hukodden) at the furthest south of the Bygdøy peninsula west of the city center of Oslo, Norway.
The area was acquired by Aker municipality in 1921.[1] The bathing beach is divided into a regular public beach and a naturist beach area. The naturist beach is on a shank[2][3] northwest of Hukodden, formerly the garden of the brush manufacturer Jordan.[4][5]
Jens Stoltenberg's second government bought in 2005 a villa with shoreline bordering the public beach at Huk, and in 2006 opened a new public beach there.[6] The villa was later resold but the shoreline is still open for all.[7]
Just off the beach area are sculptures, Large Arch (1963–1969) by Henry Moore[8] and Icarus (1965) and Døhlen by Anne Sofie Døhlen (1967).[1]
The area is accessible by bus number 30 from central Oslo.[9]
