Hornbæk

The ideal spot for relaxing and activities with family and friends

Hornbæk is the ideal spot for relaxing and activities with family and friends. Imagine a stroll through the plantation, where the forest opens up to the beautiful coast with sand, beach and sea - the beach everyone loves to visit.
Here you can relax and play with the children. Pure balm for the soul.
Moving along the coast you find the old part of the town, the small charming harbour with the playground, and the rest of Hornbæk featuring a wide range of restaurants, shops, handicraft products, and wellness offers.

A picturesque town

The lovely scenery has attracted tradespeople as well as artists, who spent their summers here lodging with the local fishermen or at the inn. The beach, the fishermen, and the smithy were popular topics for the painters. Many local streets were named after famous Danish painters.

The first summer cottages

During the 1890s some of Denmark’s first summer cottages were built in the small plantation west of the harbour. Nowadays Hornbæk features some of the most exclusive summer bungalows in Denmark, and during the summer the little town sizzles with life and joy.

The cosy seaside resort

Hornbæk is the place to find peace of mind and enjoy the unique environment with the beach, the plantation, the fresh air, and strolls around the town. Soon you will understand why the famous artists chose Hornbæk for their inspiration. The long sunny days and the evenings on the beach by the harbour are really something to experience.
The long, well-kept beach with fine sands, shallow water for the children, toilets, kiosk, and beach life guards are some of the assets of Hornbæk.

The beach playground

The playground Strandlegepladsen by the harbour has been built as a harbour on dry land. It features piers, bridges, light towers, slides and many other attractions, all built with the finest wood. In the months from May through August weekly activities are arranged for the children.
