Find your favorite beach in Aarhus
Ballehage beach
Ballehage beach is located by Højbjerg and known for its infinite bridge that stretches out into the clear water. When you step out onto the bridge that stretches out over the water, it feels like you're floating in the air. The view is simply spectacular and you can see far beyond the sparkling water and the beautiful trees.
But the area around the beach and bridge is just as impressive and offers an idyllic mix of rolling forests, cozy sandy beach and the most beautiful blue sea.
Here you can enjoy a relaxing day on the beach, swim in the clear water or take a refreshing walk in the forest.
Bellevue beach
Bellevue Beach is one of the most desirable places in Aarhus. Here, both families with children and students flock to the beach, which is known for its clear water and soft sand. But it is not only the beach that attracts the many visitors. In the associated large green beach park, you can also find plenty of space to sunbathe and relax.
But when the sun starts to set, the atmosphere at Bellevue Strand transforms into something very special. The city's young people gather here to enjoy barbecues, music and parties in the beach park. There is a special magical atmosphere in the air when you are surrounded by friends and acquaintances, while the music fills the air and the smell of barbecue spreads. So even if you are not into sun and beach, Bellevue Strand is still worth a visit.
The Permanent Bathing Institution
The Permanent Bathing Institution is an oasis in the middle of the city, where you can enjoy a day at the beach without having to worry about changing clothes and toilets. The small beach area is shielded from the outside world and provides a calm and safe atmosphere.
Families with smaller children will especially appreciate the bathing establishment, as the children can play freely and safely in the enclosed area. But even if you don't have children with you, Den Permanente is still a great place to relax and enjoy the sun.
Moesgaard beach
A true treasure is hidden in the middle of the Marselisborg forest - Moesgård beach. The sun's warm rays are reflected in the clear water and the sandy beach invites you to relax and enjoy life. It's no wonder this beach is popular with sun-hungry Aarhusians and visitors. You can enjoy the day in good company, while the sound of the waves and the silence of the forest surround you. If you fancy a refreshment or a large ice cream, fear not – there is a good kiosk on the beach with a wide selection. Moesgård beach is a must-visit place when the sun shines over Aarhus.
