Many of Djursland’s beaches have been awarded EU’s Blue Flag, which is awarded to beaches with very clean waters and fine amenities including good toilet and swimming facilities. Grenaa beach also has a lifeguard tower which is manned throughout the summer.

Grenaa Strand, a 7-km-long white, sandy beach, was in 2006 elected Jutland’s best beach with, among other things, the best facilities, the best sand, the best water and for being the most child-friendly. Find your own private spot in the dunes, settle down in the hot sand and enjoy the warmth of the sun.

The coves of Ebeltoft and Kalø are surrounded by superb scenery. The coves are obvious destinations for sailors, surfers and divers. On the east coast, you also find the beaches, Dråby Strand and Boeslum
Strand and Ahl Strand and Ebeltoft Vig Strand - both child friendly beaches.

Fjellerup, St. Sjørup, Lystrup and Rygård Strand are situated on the north coast of Djursland. Those beaches are more diverse though certainly suitable for having a good time and taking part in beach activities. Further east is Bønnerup Strand, and at Gjerrild Strand, there are long sandy beaches with pretty sand dunes and a large unspoilt wasteland behind.
