Saksild Beach
Do you and the children love clear water to swim in, a soft sandy bottom and a wonderful coastline as far as the eye can see? Then Saksild Beach on the Odder coast is just the thing for you. Here there are also good toilet facilities, a lifeguard tower, an ice cream parlour, restaurants and the opportunity to hire kayaks, paddleboards and buy beach equipment a few metres from the beach. Have a great trip!
The Great Beach (Storstranden) in Juelsminde
Wide, quiet and very child-friendly beach in Juelsminde, centrally located near the buzzing town life in Denmark’s perhaps most beautiful harbour town. Here you get lovely ice cream, a cosy marina and a beach with good facilities, a brand new jetty and plenty of space. Juelsminde in the summer is indescribably charming.
Husodde Beach in Horsens
Not many kilometres from the centre of Horsens you will find Husodde Beach. A child-friendly sandy beach with a jetty, playground, public toilets and the opportunity to play mini golf or buy an ice cream at the neighbouring Horsens City Camping. The beach is located in a beautiful area with a view of Horsens Fjord.
Hou Beach
Hou Beach on the Odder coast has a beautiful sandy bottom, stunning views of Tunø and Samsø and is only a few hundred metres from the cosy harbour town of Hou. In fact, this beach is one of the few beaches in Denmark that is truly disabled-friendly. A wheelchair slideway for the wide bathing jetty ensures that everyone can get right out to the water’s edge on hot summer days!
Endelave's Beaches
The small island of Endelave in the Kattegat off the coast of Hous has several child-friendly beaches because there are shallow water all around the island. You can either swim at the small harbour or at one of the fine beaches around the island. See where here!
As Vig Beach
This fine beach is beautifully located in As Vig Bay. You can stock up for the trip in the holiday cottage area nearby and park your car in a large car park right by the water. Easy!
Rude Beach
Rude Beach is a very child-friendly sandy beach in Saksild Bay, a little north of Saksild Beach. The beach is sheltered behind high bluffs, from which there is an excellent view of the sea.
Tunø's beaches
Hop on the ferry from Hou towards the small island of Tunø in the Kattegat. Here it is easy to find an undisturbed spot on one of the island’s small pebble or sandy beaches, where you can be at peace.
Langelinie City Beach in Horsens
| A stone’s throw from the centre of Horsens you will find this small summer oasis, which with a thick layer of soft sand and a 100-metre long jetty, is a lovely place to swim with the children. Around the beach there are good facilities with toilets, an ice cream parlour and shopping facilities within a short distance. |
