The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Houstrup beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

User reviews

"The beach is absolutely stunning, with its vast expanse and convenient access. It offers a spacious parking area, as well as the convenience of trash cans and restroom facilities. However, it is important to be cautious of rip tides, so it is advisable to swim closer to the shore."

Mara McIntyre

"In general, I absolutely love this beach, but today I was quite taken aback (on June 25th, 2023) by the strong fishy odor permeating the beach. Additionally, I noticed rusty patches on the surface of the sea, which led me to believe it could be oil."
