Denmark’s most family-friendly beaches
Calm and shallow waters, plenty of space, and restaurants and facilities nearby make The Coastal Land the ideal choice for a beach holiday with children. With 266 kilometres of varied coastline, there are plenty of beaches to choose from. Here, you get our recommendations for the best of the best.
Saksild Beach If you ask the locals, Saksild Beach is the go-to destination in the summer. Clear bathing water, soft sandy ocean floor and accessible coastline as far as the eye can see. All this is complemented by good toilet facilities, lifeguard towers, ice cream kiosks, eateries and the opportunity to rent kayaks, paddleboards and to buy beach gear a few metres from the beach.
Husodde Beach, Horsens A few kilometres from the centre of Horsens, you find Husodde Strand. A family-friendly, sandy beach with a bathing jetty, a playground, public toilets, and the opportunity to play miniature golf or buy ice cream at the neighbouring Horsens City Camping. The beach is located in a beautiful area with a view of Horsens Fjord.
Storstranden, Juelsminde Wide, calm and very family-friendly sandy beach which is centrally located near the buzzing life of Juelsminde - Denmark's perhaps most beautiful harbour town. Here, you get really good ice cream, a top-cosy marina and a beach with good facilities, a 62 metres long bathing jetty and plenty of room. Summertime Juelsminde is extremely charming.
Hou Beach This beach is one of the few beaches in Denmark that is truly wheelchair-accessible. A wheelchair slide leading to a wide bathing jetty means that everyone can get right to the water's edge on a hot summer’s day! That the beach also has a nice sandy ocean floor, beautiful views of Tunø and Samsø, and is located a few hundred metres from the harbour town of Hou ‒ well, that is just a huge bonus.
