Kegnæs Lighthouse & Beaches
Kegnæs Fyr
The peninsula at the southern tip of Als, where a white lighthouse stands beside the fields, with quiet beaches and campsites around it.
Kegnæs is a peninsula at the southern tip of Als, connected by a narrow causeway. The terrain is flat and the farmland is open. The Kegnæs Lighthouse, completed in 1896 and about 31 meters tall, can be climbed on some summer days, with views across the Baltic Sea toward the German coast. Several beaches around the peninsula have shallow, gentle waters that are good for family swimming, and there are kitesurfing spots and campsites. Free to visit, about 20 km from Sønderborg, ideal for a half-day bike ride or drive.
