BEACHES
Grenaa's 7km of Blue Flag-winning beach runs south of town and is where it's at on hot
days; this area is known for its child-friendly shallow waters. To get here, follow the coast
south from the harbour. The northern end of the beach is a hive of activity, but as you go
south it becomes a little more private.
Kattegatcentret

If you fancy being just inches from a shark and in total control, you'll love the glass tunnel
at Kattegatcentret, where the focus is on surrounding sealife. At 1pm you can watch the
shark-feeding session - a good way to see just why sharks are at the top of the food chain.
There is also a seal pool (and feeding sessions), and a kid-friendly touchpool. Check the
website for winter closing dates.
Sleeping & Eating
The Djursland tourist brochure (published annually) lists private rooms and beachside hol-
iday cottages (usually rented by the week). The region is blanketed with camping grounds.
