Munkebo Strand
You'll wade through water warm enough to feel the sand shift beneath your toes while children splash knee-deep twenty meters from shore. Locals spread blankets on the grassy slope above the narrow sand strip, where the scent of grilled pølser drifts from the nearby kiosk and the wavelets lap softer than anywhere on the open Baltic.
