Latest reviews on Denmark's beaches

Houstrup beach
8 ZKM

There is a spacious parking area available with plenty of room. From this location, you can embark on two clearly marked trails for hiking. The yellow trail is approximately 8 kilometers long and takes you across the dunes, while the red trail is approximately 4 kilometers long and also crosses the dunes. Both hikes are relatively easy, although there may be some damp areas along the way.

Strand Molle Odde
10 Declan Rivers

The beach isn't too crowded, which makes for a more relaxed atmosphere. I would definitely come back again.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 77 beaches in the country, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

Do you know how many beaches there are in Denmark? In total there are 172 beaches and the most popular is Balka Strand Bornholm.
