Bønnerup is located on the north coast of Djursland, directly on the magnificent Kattegat beach and in beautiful natural surroundings. A cozy atmosphere prevails between the old fishermen's houses and in the beautifully situated and still active fishing and yacht harbor of the town. Several years ago, a brand new yacht harbor with associated holiday homes was inaugurated, and there is always a lively atmosphere between the two harbors and the attractive beach. You can get freshly caught fish here every day. Far out on the two piers framing the harbor, 7 windmills are placed. Bønnerup has several good restaurants and shops. Bønnerup beach is child-friendly and has the Blue Flag environmental award. Bathing jetties have been built in more and more places along the beach. An ideal place for swimming, sunbathing, relaxing, building sandcastles, playing ball, and water sports. https://www.visitaarhus.de/region-aarhus/reiseplanung/der-hafenort-bonnerup-gdk792592

The rest area is certainly very nice, especially in summer. Now in autumn the reeds are much higher and the jetty to the beach has been dismantled --> access to the beach is not possible here! The beach access further towards Bønnerup is also not usable in autumn because the jetty has also been dismantled and the strip of reeds is under water

The piers will be dismantled in autumn! Access to the beach on dry feet will then only be possible with rubber boots, as the strip of reeds is filled with water
