The best beaches on Anholt
Anholt has some of Denmark's best beaches, some even say the best. Even when there are most bathing tourists, it is easy to find a stretch of beach where you can stay.

One of the first things to note when approaching Anholt, whether coming by ship or plane, is the crystal clear sea. Even where the sea is many meters deep, rocks and seaweed on the bottom are clearly visible.

Anholt Nordstrand
Anholt Nordstrand has the finest, white sand, crystal-clear water and towering dunes. The beach seems endless because it is so wide, and at the far end of the beach towards the east, you can spot the island’s lighthouse, Anholt Fyr.

Anholt Vesterstrand
Anholt Vesterstrand is a beach near Anholt harbour. The sand there is really fine, and there are nice sandbanks in the water. Anholt Vesterstrand is wide, and from there you can see all the way to Sønderbjerg on the southern end of the island.

Anholt Sønderbjerg and Pakhusbugten
Experience one of Denmark’s most desolate stretches of beach, which at the same time is a lovely spot for going swimming aa well as it has nice dunes. Climb to the very top of Sønderbjerg and take in the view of the sea and Ørkenen – the desert; an absolute must during your visit to Anholt.

The Beach by Anholt Camping
Anholt Camping is situated on the waterfront and near Anholt Nordstrand. The beach is perfect for kitesurfing and the scenery surrounding the beach is amazing. Walk to town along the love trail and enjoy watching the sun setting over the Kattegat sea.
