Skagen

Very nice fishing port with good facilities for yachts. Popular place with many Swedes and Norwegians on week-end trips. Sometimes they have a noisy party on Saturday night. In July the harbour might be (over)crowded. However the number of Fishing Vessels is decreasing, thereby leaving more and more space to yachts.
Attractions: Visit "Grenen" the joint where the Skagerak (North Sea) and the "Kattegat" meets. Heavy over falls and rough sea. White beach with dunes and marram grass. Skagen has more sunshine than other places in Denmark due to foehn effect from the Norwegian mountains. Skagen has attracted many artists because of its very special azure sky light. Visit "Skagen Museum", the art gallery, where the most valuable paintings can be seen. All provisions can be bought in Skagen. Visit the early morning "Fish Auction". Excellent restaurants in the harbour and neighborhood. In the month of June, there is a one week "Song Festival" with many foreign groups and artists.
