 Asserbo is located between the tempting coast of the Kattegat and the lake 'Arresø' - Denmark's largest lake. You will find the beach only a few km from the holiday house area. It is also possible to buy groceries within a radius of few km.

Beach

The seaside town Tisvildeleje (10 km from Asserbo) is also recommendable. Here you will find kilometres of white and sandy beach. This beach is also suitable for children and has been awarded with the Blue Flag.
The beach of Rågeleje (20 km) is a long and lovely bathing beach with fine sand and small stones. This sheltered beach has the Blue Flag and during the school holidays, a lifeguard keeps an eye out for the bathers. The beach is situated along the esplanade and the road 'Strandvejen', and as it is facing north-west, it lies relatively unsheltered towards the Kattegat, for which reason wind and kite surfers will find good conditions here.
