By the lovely holiday house area Genner Strand the nature, the small boat harbour and the swans create an idyllic atmosphere.
 Genner Strand is situated just north of the peninsular Løjt Land, in the bottom of the bay 'Genner Bugt', 10 km north of Aabenraa and 17 km south of Haderslev. The area is surrounded by a quiet, South Jutland nature with forest, fields and beach.
Right outside Genner Strand the small and scenic island Kalvø is situated. A dam connects the island with the mainland and a 1.5 km long, marked nature path leads you all the way round the island.
It is possible to buy groceries in Genner, 3 km from the shore, and in Løjt Kirkeby, 6 km south of Genner Stand as well as in Aabenraa.
Beach
Genner Strand is sheltered by the island Kalvø. This means that the water is stagnant and that the beach is very suitable for children. A bathing jetty is available by the beach. Towards north and south wooded slopes lead down towards the water.
The good bathing beach of Loddenhøj, a couple of km towards east, has the Blue Flag. This beach is also very suitable for children, as the water is shallow. Here you can swim, sunbathe, surf and fish among other things.
Nature
 Behind Genner Strand, slightly towards south-west, you will find the undulating plantation 'Lerskov Plantage', which is characterized by forest, marsh areas, meadows and salt meadows.
The growth in the bottom of the bay 'Genner Bugt' and around Genner Strand is generally lush. Thick forests of reeds grow along the shores and create attractive living conditions for many wading birds and ducks.
Innermost in the bay 'Genner Bugt' the small island Kalvø is situated. The island is characterized by a lovely and untouched nature. Both Kalvø and the innermost of the bay are laid out as nature reserves, and both places have a rich animal life.
By Loddenhøj, towards east, you will find a lovely forest, which invites walks along the marked routes.
Activities
Anglers will find good fishing opportunities along the shores in the deep water of the bay, in the Put & Take fishponds of the area as well as on the sea. Deep-sea fishing trips are arranged with a fishing vessel from both Haderslev and Aabenraa with the ship MS Rosita.
Golf players can try out some of the 9 golf courses of South Jutland.
It is possible to rent bicycles in Løjt Kirkeby.
Lovely nature experiences await you along the marked walking and bicycle paths of the area - on the mainland and not least on the island Kalvø.
