TOP BEACHES
Our authors have travelled the length and breadth of Denmark to give you their favourite
spots to take a dip.
Copenhagen
(Islands Brygge) Not technically a beach, but slap-bang in Copenhagen's
main canal, this designer outdoor pool comes with downtown views and delectable eye
candy.
Zealand
(Tisvildeleje) Sandbars, shallows and chic hotels on Zealand's north coast 'rivi-
era'.
Møn, Falster & Lolland
(Marielyst, Falster) Endless sandy beaches and a family-friendly
holiday vibe.
Bornholm
(Dueodde) Soft endless sand, epic skies and a Nordic forest backdrop.
Funen
(Vesterstrand, Ærø) Swim and/or sunset-watch among the brightly painted
bathing huts outside Ærøskøbing.
Southern Jutland
(Rømø) Miles of west-coast emptiness, plus hair-raising speed-ma-
chine activities down south.
Central Jutland
(Hvide Sande) Colourful wind- and kitesurfers harnessing the North Sea
wind.
Northern Jutland
(Skagen) Wild winds and shifting sands to the west, calm family-
friendly waters to the east, and everywhere are the blue hues that inspired artists.
Watersports
The wild winds of Jutland's west coast have gained plenty of attention from windsurfers
and kitesurfers, and the consistently good conditions attract many European enthusiasts to
Klitmøller (aka 'Cold Hawaii', a nickname we love) and Hvide Sande.
Not only do these towns hold numerous contests each year, but they boast great terrain
for all skill levels. Experts can carve up the wild North Sea breakers, while beginners can
master the basics on the inland fjords.
