Tisvildeleje Strand
The beach of Tisvildeleje is one of many within striking distance of Copenhagen. The sandy shores here are about 30 kilometers north of the city, and they run alongside the popular holiday village of Tisvilde. Fishermen have long flocked to the area, and an active fishing scene is still a part of the beach's culture today. Sit on the beach or in a nearby café and watch the little boats float by, or sit on the beach and eat the catch of the day.
With a long stretch of golden sand backed by windswept dunes, the beach has a wonderful wild feel to it. Beyond that, the "Tisvilde Fence," Denmark's fifth-largest forest and a popular spot for cyclists and walkers, stretches out in front of you.
While the beach becomes more wild as you travel west, there are still plenty of facilities closer to Tisvilde. In fact, the beach has received the Blue Flag award on several occasions, indicating that it is clean and family-friendly.
The colorful old beach huts dotted around the grassy dunes next to the village are another sign of the beach's long-standing resort credentials. Owners who spend sunny weekends relaxing by their huts continue to enjoy them as much as ever.
