Highlights: At sunset, the beach glows in golden-pink hues, creating the effect of a burning sea. Nearby is one of Denmark's oldest lighthouses, operating since 1862, which makes a great photo spot.
Insider tips
- Take a windbreaker with you, as a cool breeze often blows on the shore.

- Avoid weekends if you want peace and quiet.
- Swimming tips: the water is cold, bring a wetsuit if you plan to swim for a long time.
