Kandestederne
A small North Sea village with a wide beach beside the Råbjerg Mile dunes. Dunes, heath and sea coexist here, and it is quiet with few visitors.
Kandestederne is a small village on the North Sea coast, about 15 km south of Skagen, right next to the Råbjerg Mile moving dunes. Its wide white sandy beach can be driven onto (common in summer), and it is a great place for kitesurfing and swimming. The village is surrounded by tall dunes and heathland, and the Skagen Painters often came here to paint outdoors. It has far fewer people than Gammel Skagen. It pairs well with Råbjerg Mile in the same half-day, and you can watch the sunset over the North Sea in the evening. The North Sea has strong waves and currents, so swim only in marked areas and keep an eye on the flags.
