A beautiful, lively harbor town with a wonderful maritime atmosphere. Excellent infrastructure with pleasant restaurants, a bakery, and a café, and it's an ideal starting point for wonderful cycling and hiking tours or excursions to Copenhagen, the Louisiana Museum, the Tegners Museum, and the magnificent castles 🚲🥾🤩🥰👍!

Located between the more popular beaches of Dronningmølle and Hornbæk, this beach is really quiet and close to the Route 47 cycleway. Hop off the bike and enjoy a spectacular view on the sea!
