Discover Egsmark Strand

Egsmark Strand combines a coastal holiday with outdoor activities and visible traces of former fishing communities. When looking for a holiday home, it helps to first consider your travel interests: should the beach, outdoor activities or the town’s history be the main focus? The features of Egsmark Strand offer specific points to consider when making this decision.

Coast, water and fishing heritage

The beaches at Egsmark, Handrup and Lyngsbæk are sheltered at the end of Ebeltoft Vig. Calm waters that deepen only gradually define these beach areas, as well as Femmøller Strand. This means that both the sheltered location of the first three beach destinations and the water conditions at all four beaches are relevant when considering the coast. When comparing the holiday destinations, you can look at these features separately: their location on the bay and the calm water that gradually deepens.

Some preserved fishing huts at Egsmark Strand still show visible traces of former fishing communities. The huts give the coast a historical dimension alongside today’s opportunities for outdoor activities and water sports. If you are interested in the town’s former uses, these surviving traces provide a tangible point of reference. This way, you can discover Egsmark Strand not only through its beach features but also through the history of its fishing communities.

Activities on the beach and road

The beach and roads at Egsmark Strand are used for jogging. Egsmark Strand is also suitable for kitesurfing; conditions can vary depending on the weather. This offers different ways to stay active: jogging takes place on the beach and roads, while the weather plays a role in kitesurfing. If you choose where to stay based on activities, this distinction is a practical consideration.

There is a beach volleyball court in the beach area, and a car park is located near the beach. If you plan to use the volleyball court, check before your visit whether it is currently available, as facilities can change. Both details may be helpful when planning a day at the beach.

Cycle path and proximity to Ebeltoft

Kystvejen runs through the beach area at Egsmark Strand, with a continuous cycle path from Femmøller Strand to Ebeltoft. This offers a cycling perspective when choosing where to stay: you can place Egsmark Strand along the route between the two destinations. This is a different way to get around from the beach and road sections used for jogging, and may be important if you want to include cycling in your holiday plans.

Of the four holiday destinations mentioned—Egsmark Strand, Handrup, Lyngsbæk and Femmøller—Egsmark Strand is the closest to Ebeltoft. If Ebeltoft is a factor in choosing where to stay, this relative location provides a specific point of comparison.
