Grenaa Beach
The 5 km long sandy Grenaa Beach is a very attractive place for tourism, with a hinterland of summer cottages, including many rentals. The last 1.5 km are not much visited and ending at the cape of Havknude. At this place the beach turns into a stony shoreline that continues 30 km down the east coast of the peninsula of Djursland, facing the Kattegat between Denmark and Sweden.
