When it comes to the Danish Kingdom, Shakespeare's tragedy, Andersen's Little Mermaid and other fairy-tale heroes who lived in the dim northern beauties of Copenhagen come to mind. It turns out that in the homeland of Prince Hamlet, you can comfortably sunbathe if extreme heat and exotic landscapes are not an indispensable condition for spending a summer vacation. A beach holiday in Denmark is the choice of tourists who prefer climatic temperate conditions and European service, and a lot of interesting sights in the area will help diversify the leisure of both children and adults.
Where to go to sunbathe?
The Kingdom of Denmark is washed by the Baltic and North Seas and the length of its sea coast is more than seven thousand kilometers. Features of Danish beaches are the purest sand and solid width, exceeding hundreds of meters in some places. Locals prefer to go to the beaches not only in the vicinity of the capital:
- A very popular place for a beach holiday in Denmark is the west coast of the Jutland peninsula. It is not very suitable for families with children because of the occasional storm winds and strong waves, but active young people spend all weekends here in the summer.
- Fantasy lovers have chosen the southern coast of Bronholm Island. It is full of historical ruins from the Viking Age, and local sightseeing tours will greatly diversify your beach holiday in Denmark.
- Funn Island is the best place for families with children. The local beaches have the shallowest entrance to the water and are protected from strong winds by the surrounding islands and parts of the mainland. But the main miracle for kids is the city of Odense, where Hans-Christian Andersen was born and lived for a long time.
Going to the beaches of Denmark, you should stock up on windbreakers and warm clothes: the weather at the local resorts is particularly changeable. The prices for hotels in the resorts of Denmark cannot be called too low, but the excellent European service allows you to comfortably spend your holidays even in inexpensive family pensions and in hotels with a small number of stars on the facade.
Weather features of a beach holiday in Denmark
Usually, those who have no purpose only to lie on the beaches go on tours to Denmark. Firstly, the climate is not very conducive to serene sunbathing, and secondly, there is something to see in the country for both children and adults. One way or another, it is worth studying the weather forecast in advance:
- Denmark's climate is considered maritime and temperate. High temperatures are not typical for the Danish summer, but the presence of precipitation is an indispensable and obligatory item in the weather program.
- The swimming season on the beaches of Denmark begins no earlier than July, when the water warms up to at least + 18 ° С. It becomes a little warmer by the middle of August, and in September it is not very comfortable to swim again.
- On land, thermometer columns rise at the height of summer to + 27 ° С, and in early June and late August, daytime values do not exceed + 23 ° С.
Fairy kingdom
Choosing where it is better to relax with your baby, book a hotel in Odense. Reviews and photos of tourists indicate that this is an ideal place to spend holidays or vacations with children.
The beaches can be reached by public transport or by renting a car. The city is located just a few kilometers from the sea coast.
Holidays in Odense are walks through the fabulous kingdom where Hans Christian Andersen was born. The original houses where the writer lived have survived here, and an excursion to the park named after the storyteller will remain in the memory of every young reader for a long time. In addition to museums and parks, Andersen's work is reminiscent of numerous monuments to the heroes of his books.
