225 km of beaches
The Land of Light is known for its long coastline and white sandy beaches. Nowhere else are there so many different beaches within a radius of just 50 km that provide such an invitation to activities and experiences all year round.

The beaches on the east coast
The beaches at Skagen, Frederikshavn and Sæby face out onto Kattegat, where the waves are only rarely very powerful and where the relatively shallow water with a sandy seabed warms up quickly. The child-friendly, broad and car-free beaches are often situated sheltered from the prevailing westerly winds by lovely dunes.
The white sand and the wide open spaces offer hours of fun and games for the whole family.

The beaches on the west coast
Adults and children alike cannot fail to be impressed by the beautiful long, broad, white sandy beaches lined by the large dunes that are found on the west coast near Løkken, Lønstrup, Hirtshals, Tversted or Skagen. Here there are both child-friendly beaches with areas in which cars are prohibited, and beaches that have room for both games and cars. The North Sea is always worth experiencing, whatever the season, weather or wind.

150 km of clean beaches The municipal authorities of Hjørring and Frederikshavn have decided to apply particular focus to keeping the beaches clean - all year round:
1 November - 31 March:
The beaches are inspected once a month and significant waste is removed as long as the elements allow it.
1 April - 31 October
The beaches are cleaned at least twice a month.
5 June - 15 September
on Blue Flag beaches: The beaches are kept free of waste, and facilities such as toilets, emergency telephone and life-saving equipment are available.
Beach numbers Note the small green signs on which beach numbers are written located at the edge of the dune - use this number in an emergency. If the rescue services are given the number, they know exactly where the incident has taken place, thus reducing the risk of precious time being wasted taking the wrong route.
