Borgnæs Strand
You'll park on grass above a gentle crescent where pine needles mix with sand and the Baltic laps at your ankles for twenty meters before deepening. Families spread blankets beneath lean-to shelters while gulls wheel above the ferry route to Fynshav, and the afternoon sun warms the wooden slats of changing huts weathered silver by salt air.
