Flat to choppy water. Hejsager Strand is characterized by its fine swimming conditions, so other users must be anticipated and watched out for. The water off Hejsager Strand features little to no current, but it can be choppy in strong winds. The hotspot is especially suited for experienced kiters who can relaunch a kite from deeper waters and are able to go upwind, and because of the depth of the water and the general amount of traffic that must be expected here, especially during summer.

Some 12 kilometers south-east of Haderslev, Hejsager Strand tempts kitesurfers with its large bay and deep water, which make it especially suitable for foil- and windsurfing. Parking spots and lavatories are spread out along the beach, so there is plenty of room for your family or a lot of gear. Safety and security has definitely been a priority here! For every approx. 700 meters, you will find an emergency telephone, an emergency triangle, a defibrillator and an emergency number sign, and you also have a great view overlooking the bay from the elongated beach.

Extra information
The Hejsager Strand hotspot also benefits from the open all year grillbar/take away stand at the east end of the beach, and if you feel like cooking yourself, modern permanent do-it-yourself grills are placed along the parking lots as well, and if you brought a ball, there is even a football ground; all in all, there’s plenty to do when not on the water.
