Bøgeskov Beach
The smell of moss and salt merge at Bøgeskov Beach, where the woodland meets a narrow band of sand so soft it squeaks underfoot. You'll wade into water that barely ripples, shallow enough to spot hermit crabs scuttling between stones, and stretch out on a shore where the only soundtrack is birdsong filtering through the trees.
