Transcription

Grenaa/ Grenå Beach, in Denmark, Eastern Coast of Jutland, Djursland. Grenaa Beach was nominated as the best beach in Denmark in 2006, together with a beach on Zealand. Part of the reason for this is, that there is a nice an wide sandy beach, with little tide, where it also gets deep at a comfortable rate. Between the shoreline and the first sand bar, where these people are, you can paddle and wade, making it suitable for children, and between the first and second sandbar – you have a nice depth for swimming. So it’s close to a perfect beach. At the same time it’s quite wide, with a lot of fine white sand all over, on a fairly long beach. It stretches from the town Grenaa, direction south, 5 kilometers down the East Coast of the peninsula, Djursland. Running parallel to the beach is a road, Katholm Strandway/ Katholm Beechway, that makes it easy to get down here, just as parking is easy. There are also a lot of summer cottages/ rentals in the hinterland, just as Grenaa is a cosy turist-town in summers. A marina and Kattegatcentret, a fairly seized oceanarium – are among the attractions. A couple of km outside Grenaa is The Engine Collection, the largest collection of stationary engines in the Scandinavian countries – for those with technical mind. Part of what makes Grenaa Beach attractive, is also the dunes with sheltered spots where one can enjoy the sun, if it’s a to cold, which it isn’t today, July, 20. It’s around 26 degrees, here at half past twelve, and presumably it will get a couple of degrees warmer, later in the afternoon. Just behind the dunes there is 20 meters of forest before the road parallel to the beach, where one can park. All the way through the dunes there are paths to the beach, so access is actually very easy. Perfect beach, on a perfect summers day, in July 2013, at Grenaa, Grenaa Beach. With lots of room. Grenaa is situated in the middle of the peninsula, Djursland on the eastern coast of Jutland, on the Kattegat coastline. In the port there are ferry connections to Sweden. There are some Norwegian and Swedish tourists but not quite as many German visitors as there where 20 – 30 years ago. There are many Norwegian guests, and Swedes to.

History

Søren Kanne (1801-1860) was a Grenaa farmer who came to fame in the 1830s heroically rescuing a shipwrecked skipper by the help of his two horses, according to legend. Photo: Jakob Øhlenschlæger

Grenaa was first mentioned in 1231. It was granted the status of a market town in 1445.

Economy

Grenaa has a lingering production industry just as in most of the western world. Development of tourism and educational institutions is sought to play a larger role for Grenaa in the future.[3] The 5 km sandy Grenaa Beach is significant for tourism, with a hinterland of summer cottages, including many rentals.[4] Grenaa is a regional shopping centre for central-eastern Djursland, an about 40 km x 40 km peninsula, protruding into the sea, between Denmark and Sweden at the entrance to the Baltic Sea.

Tourism

Grenaa Beach

With 14.601 (2014) inhabitants Grenaa is also the largest town on the c. 40 km x 40 km peninsula, Djursland, where coastal tourism is important.[5] Djursland has 22 sandy beaches along the three-sided 260 km coastline, with in the order of 7.000 summer-, and out of season-, rentals, primarily close to the coast and beaches.[6] Grenaa Beach can be seen as the best of the beaches on Djursland, as it was elected as one of the two best beaches in Denmark in 2006.[5] All coastlines in Denmark are accessible to the public by law, contributing to making the walkable and unspoilt coastlines of Djursland an asset for Grenaa's tourism.[5]

Climate

The climate is coastal temperate, influenced by the Gulf Stream. Westerly and south-westerly winds are common. The yearly precipitation is 700 mm (28 in). The average summer temperature is 16 °C (61 °F). The coldest month is January with an average temperature of 0.5 °C (32.9 °F).

Demographics

The geographical region, Djursland, where Grenaa is situated on the east coast, has an average population density of 42 inhabitants per square km, as compared to 407 for neighboring England and 230 for Germany.[7] This, combined with the long coastlines, means that it seldom gets crowded on the coast and beaches. Something that also applies to the geologically varied often roling-hill country-side and farmland of Djursland, of which a bit more than 10% is forest.[8]

Transport

Grenaa railway station

Grenaa has a commercial seaport that has been expanded in recent years.[3] The town is connected by ferry to Halmstad in Sweden and the Danish island of Anholt.

The town is also connected by railway to Denmark's second largest city, Aarhus, 60 km to the south-east, and is served by Grenaa railway station, terminus of the Aarhus-Grenaa railway line. The station offers direct local train services to Aarhus and Odder as part of the Aarhus Light Rail system.[9] The southern part of the town is also served by the railway halt Hessel.[10]

The nearest airport with scheduled national and international flights is Aarhus Airport which lies 20 km to the south-west from Grenaa.
