Egsmark Strand offers several specific points to consider when choosing a destination: coastal features, outdoor activities and traces of former fishing communities. Its relative location to Ebeltoft also helps when comparing it with the other holiday destinations mentioned. This lets you consider the character of the water, opportunities for activity and orientation as distinct aspects of your stay.

Water and coastal location

Calm water that deepens only gradually characterises the beaches at Egsmark, Handrup, Lyngsbæk and Femmøller. Egsmark, Handrup and Lyngsbæk are also sheltered at the end of Ebeltoft Vig. These are two distinct features to consider when comparing destinations: the description of the water applies to four beach areas, while the sheltered location links the group of three. When weighing up the holiday destinations, you can consider both points separately rather than combining them into a single beach profile.

Active at the beach

Egsmark Strand is suitable for kitesurfing; conditions can vary depending on the weather. If you plan this activity, take the weather conditions into account. The beach and roads at Egsmark Strand are also used for running. This gives you two different ways to stay active: a weather-dependent water sport and a running route that includes the beach and roads. This lets you choose between water sports and running for your stay without treating the two activities as the same.

Cycle route and beach volleyball

Kystvejen runs along the beach area at Egsmark Strand, with a continuous cycle route from Femmøller Strand to Ebeltoft. This also places Egsmark in the context of a cycling connection that extends beyond the individual beach area. The stated endpoints provide a different reference for cycle planning than the local running route. There is also a beach volleyball court at Egsmark Strand. If you plan to use it, check its current condition before your visit, as facilities can change.

Fishermen’s huts and local history

Visible traces of former fishing communities can still be seen in some of the fishermen’s huts that remain at Egsmark Strand. This historical connection complements today’s activities with a glimpse into the area’s former fishing industry. If you also want to choose coastal destinations for their history, the fishermen’s huts offer a specific point of reference. Alongside kitesurfing, running and cycling, the traces of former fishing communities can therefore provide a distinct focus when choosing a destination.
