Gilleleje beach

Gilleleje is a former fishing village that over the past few years has become a top summer destination. The historic city with the picturesque harbour and the traditional eateries is surrounded by beautiful beaches, all of which are a stone’s throw away from the town. Some of the most popular is Strandbakkerne, east of Gilleleje harbour, that’s a child-friendly beach with shallow waters, and the long and remote Smidstrup beach in the west.
