Water all around

Swimming is possible nearly everywhere along the coast – with the exception of the coast at Grenen due to the dangerous current there. Along the Kattegat there are excellent white sandy beaches that are ideal for children; along the Skagerrak you can hear the roar of the North Sea and take a refreshing dip.



The local diving club arranges weekend events every year when they invite other diving clubs to come and take a look at the wrecks of the many ships lying in the seas of Skagen.
