Bjørnhøj Strand (by Ristinge)

Bjørnhøj Strand is the first part of the popular Ristinge Strand on the west coast of Langeland, facing Marstal Bay. This beautiful stretch of coastline stretches over 2 kilometres from Hesselbjerg Strand in the south to Ristinge Strand in the north and offers a unique nature experience.

Plenty of space and relaxed surroundings

Although Ristinge Strand is one of Langeland's most visited beaches, here - and at Bjørnhøj Strand - you'll find plenty of space with a kilometre-long stretch of coastline and a width of around 20 metres. Both the beach and the seabed consist of fine sand, and as the beach no longer has Blue Flag status, you are allowed to bring your dog and enjoy a day by the water.

Convenient facilities and easy access

Bjørnhøj Beach is equipped with all the necessary facilities: toilets with drinking water, disabled access, spacious parking spaces, lifebuoy, first aid kit, rubbish bins and bathing water alarm and emergency phone.

The beach access is especially accessible for people with reduced mobility and wheelchair users. Beach mats are laid out right up to the water's edge from May to September, making it easy for wheelchair users, prams and walkers to get close to the water.

Disabled people can also borrow a specially adapted beach chair, which is located in the little black house next to the toilet building. To borrow the bathing chair, contact VisitLangeland on +45 20 130 250.

Safety when bathing

Please note that there may be riptides along the coast - be aware of the bathing conditions and follow any safety instructions.
