Beach
In Liseleje you will find a lovely, sandy beach with high dunes at the back. The beach is suitable for children, as the water is shallow by the edge. It has the Blue Flag and during the school holidays, a lifeguard keeps an eye out for the bathers. Surfers will also find good conditions by this beach.

The beach of Rågeleje (18 km) is a long and lovely bathing beach with fine sand and small stones. This sheltered beach has the Blue Flag and also here, a lifeguard keeps an eye out for the bathers during the school holidays. 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.
Nature
With its 40 square kilometres the lake Arresø is the largest lake in Denmark. Here you will find good opportunities for walks and bicycle rides along the lake. The route around the lake is 50 km long. It is also possible to go on a cosy sail on the lake (4 km).

Here you can swim, sail and observed birds in the bird sanctuary (16 km).
Activities
Numerous events are arranged in Liseleje during the summer. Look forward to a kite festival, market days and Midsummer night with torchlight procession and a large fire on the beach.
