Active Frederikshavn Attractions

How about Swimming?

One of the best Frederikshavn attractions  is to go swimming!

There are 30+ excellent beaches, ranging from shallow, child friendly to beaches perfect for bird watching, kite sailing or fishing. Get a list from the local tourist office and decide which is best for you and your family.

P.S. When on the beach, always look for the Blue Flag, which is a sign that the beach is clean and safe. Also look for the beach marker on the beach that you are going to be using. Make a note of it, so in case there is an emergency, you can call, give your bech marker location for the authorities to get to you quicker.

The signs are near the dunes, are rectangular green signs with white numbers and are usually very visible from the beach.

There are also indoor swimming pools for those days when the beach may not be ideal.

Denmark has many rules about fishing to insure their preservation. Please check out the rules for where, when, how big, what type and preservation periods for fishing at the local tourist office. They can supply you with guides and rules.

Can't get enough water? Go Canoing, boating, kayaking

All sorts of boating activities are available along the coast and there are plenty of places that will not only teach, but also rent equipment, so it is not necessary to bring your own boats along.

I suggest either using:

Uggerby Kanofart, Skagen Landevej 849, 9800 Uggerby Tel.: +4598975304

or

Voerså Boats and Canoes, Østkystvejen 344, Voerså, 9300 Sæby Tel.: 98 46 00 51

Other options are to visit the harbours and there you will find several places that rent various types of boats, including canoes, kayaks and sailboats.

You may even come across some other Frederikshavn attractions around the harbour.
