Hornbæk Strand

Hornbæk Strand stretches along the northern coast of Zealand with white sand dunes and clear waters spanning over one kilometer of shoreline.

The beach developed into a prominent summer destination during the 1800s when Copenhagen residents began seeking coastal retreats north of the capital.

Local fishermen maintain their traditional presence at Hornbæk Harbor, selling fresh catches directly to visitors and restaurants throughout the season.

Two lifeguard stations operate from June to mid-August, with paved paths leading from parking areas to the water for improved accessibility.

The beach features natural sand dunes that serve as wind barriers, creating protected areas for swimming and sunbathing throughout the summer months.
