Icy, dark, and anything but inviting. You can almost hear the sea shouting: Stay away! Yet, many flock to the beaches of North Zealand to experience the thrill of cold-water swimming and the incredible sense of well-being that follows the shock of the cold.

When is the best time for winter swimming?
Morning, midday, or evening – it’s all about what suits you best. Many love a morning swim to kickstart the day with energy and freshness. Others prefer a midday dip, when the sun might have slightly warmed the water. And then some swear by winter swimming at dusk – a unique experience that feels calming and relaxing after a long day.
Where can you go for winter swimming?
With approximately 300 kilometres of coastline, North Zealand offers nearly endless opportunities for winter swimming. Many opt for a bathing jetty or a beach with a soft sandy bottom to make the experience even more enjoyable. And if the location is easily accessible by car, bike, or on foot, it’s a bonus. VisitNordsjælland has gathered the best winter swimming spots and tips on where to warm up afterwards – perfect for completing your chilly dip.
