20 Of The World’s Most Secluded (And Beautiful) Beaches

6. Grenen, DenmarkWhen you’re in the midst of planning a European beach vacation, Denmark may not seem like the ideal destination.
And while it’s true that the weather isn’t always amenable to those looking to relax on the beach, there is a significant window of time in which you can lounge on the beach without shivering.
If you’re willing to skip out on the usual tanning session, that time window can be further extended. In exchange for pale skin, you’ll be rewarded by the prospect of a completely secluded Danish beach.
Grenen, which is at the northernmost tip of Denmark, boasts a huge sandbar. Just off shore is the place where two seas meet – the Skagerrak and Kattegat. This beach has appeared in numerous paintings, as the nearby town of Skagen has long been a popular destination for the world’s most talented artists.
Thus, if you’re looking to capture some of Europe’s most remarkable scenery, you’d be well advised to do so during a visit to Grenen’s beach.
Unfortunately, while the sandbar is great for painting and sightseeing, it’s not a good place to visit if you’re looking to actually get your feet wet. Swimming is prohibited, and for good reason — the treacherous waters can be fatal for those foolish enough to jump in. Seals share the beach with tourists and they are accustomed to people being around. There is also a restaurant and a small art museum close by.
