Hasle Strand (Klympen Beach), Bornholm
Long west-coast sands, quiet dunes and pine-backed shoreline where Bornholm’s soft side meets big Baltic sunsets just south of the harbor town of Hasle.
Hasle Strand, also known as Klympen, is a long, gently shelving sandy beach just south of the seaside town of Hasle on Bornholm’s west coast. Sheltered by pines and dunes, it offers soft sand, clean Baltic waters, and broad skies that glow at sunset. With space to spread out, simple facilities nearby and walking and cycling paths along the coast, it’s a relaxed, family-friendly spot to swim, sunbathe, or linger after a day exploring Hasle’s harbor and forests.

Local tips
- Time your visit for late afternoon on a clear day to catch the west-facing sunset; bring a light layer as the breeze can feel cool even in midsummer.
- Pack your own snacks and water, especially outside peak summer, as on-beach food options can be limited and are concentrated closer to Hasle town.
- Combine a swim with a walk or cycle along the coastal path toward Rønne or the former clay quarries north of Hasle for varied sea and forest scenery.
- The sandy, gradually deepening seabed is generally family-friendly, but supervise children closely as conditions can change with wind and waves.
- In cooler months, consider bringing windproof clothing and shoes suitable for soft sand if you plan to use the beach mainly for walking and photography.

Getting There
-
Bus from Rønne
From Rønne, take a regional bus toward Hasle; services typically run several times a day and the ride takes around 20–30 minutes. A single adult ticket usually costs in the range of 30–50 DKK depending on route and discounts. From the bus stop in Hasle, it is a short walk through town to reach the beachfront area. Buses are less frequent in the evening and on weekends, so check the timetable in advance.
-
Car from Rønne and central Bornholm
Driving from Rønne to Hasle via the main coastal road generally takes about 15–20 minutes, slightly longer in peak summer. There is free public parking near Hasle’s harbor and in areas close to the beach, but spaces can fill up on hot days. No special vehicle is needed and roads are paved and straightforward. Remember that local speed limits are strictly enforced and allow extra time if travelling from inland towns such as Aakirkeby or Østerlars.
-
Cycling along the west-coast route
For cyclists based in Rønne or nearby villages, a signposted coastal cycle route links Rønne and Hasle, continuing north toward Allinge. The ride from Rønne to Hasle usually takes 30–45 minutes at a relaxed pace, with mostly gentle gradients and stretches through forest and along the shore. Surfaces are a mix of paved paths and minor roads. There is no cost beyond bike rental, which on Bornholm commonly ranges around 100–200 DKK per day depending on model and shop.
-
Walking from Hasle town
If you are staying in Hasle itself, you can reach Hasle Strand on foot in roughly 10–20 minutes from most central accommodations. The walk passes residential streets or the harborfront before reaching dunes and sand. Terrain is mostly level but includes soft sand near the beach, which may be more demanding for visitors with limited mobility. There is no fee to access the beach and it is open at all hours, though natural light and weather conditions should guide your timing.

Wide Baltic Sands on Bornholm’s Quiet West Coast
Hasle Strand, often called Klympen Beach, stretches for several kilometres along the west coast of Bornholm just south of the small town of Hasle. Here the Baltic Sea laps at a broad ribbon of pale sand backed by low dunes and pine trees, creating a classic island beachscape that still feels human in scale. The shoreline is gently sloping, so the shallow water near the edge makes wading and play easy for less confident swimmers. Unlike some of Bornholm’s more compact coves, Hasle Strand opens out in both directions, giving a real sense of space and horizon. Even on bright summer days you can usually find your own patch of sand without feeling hemmed in. The beach’s west-facing position brings dramatic skies, with the color of the sea shifting from steel-blue to deep turquoise as the light changes through the day.Between Pines, Dunes and Clear Baltic Water
Behind the sand, a band of dunes and light pine woodland softens the transition from beach to inland landscape. On breezy days the trees provide welcome shelter and shady spots for picnics, while paths thread through the vegetation so you can move between sea and forest in a few steps. The air often carries a mix of salty tang and resin from the pines, especially in the warmth of late afternoon. The water quality here is generally good, and the seabed near the shore is sandy rather than rocky, making entry into the sea straightforward. In summer, the Baltic is usually cool but swimmable, and on still days the surface can be almost glassy. In autumn and winter the beach takes on a very different character, with stronger winds, choppier waves, and a rawer beauty that appeals to walkers and cold-water bathers.Linked to Hasle’s Harbor Life and Coastal Paths
Hasle Strand feels distinctly connected to the nearby town without being urban. A short walk away, Hasle’s small harbor is home to a contemporary sea bath with wooden platforms, where locals come for regular swims and to watch the evening light sink over the water. The same coastline continues south toward Rønne along a walking and cycling route that alternates between woodland, dunes, and open shoreline. Staying near the beach is easy: there are holiday homes, small guesthouses, and simple seaside accommodations scattered close to the waterfront. Hasle itself offers a traditional fish smokehouse, a small art hall in a converted industrial space, and a harborfront that comes alive on long summer evenings. Beach time here can easily be combined with short excursions to nearby forest lakes formed in old clay quarries and to viewpoints over the rocky northwestern coast.Calm Atmosphere, Family Appeal and Space to Breathe
The atmosphere at Hasle Strand is unhurried and understated. Many visitors come for simple pleasures: swimming, reading on a blanket, letting children dig and run in the sand, or strolling the shoreline as the sun sinks low over the Baltic. The long beach gives children room to play without crowding others, and the gradual depth of the water suits families comfortable supervising their own sea time. There is none of the loud entertainment of resort beaches; the soundscape is more about wind, waves, and the occasional laughter or call from the dunes. On clear evenings, people often linger toward sunset, when the west-facing horizon glows orange and pink and the silhouettes of distant ships sometimes punctuate the sea. It is a setting that invites slowing down, breathing deeply, and taking in the changing light.Seasons, Weather and Practical Comfort
In high summer, Hasle Strand is at its most active, with swimmers, sunbathers and cyclists weaving between sea and forest. Spring and early autumn offer milder temperatures, emptier sands, and good light for photography. Stormier days in late autumn and winter reveal a more dramatic side, with wind-whipped waves and fast-moving clouds creating a vivid backdrop for bracing walks. Basic facilities such as restrooms, bins, and simple seating are typically available either at or close to the beach, and the town of Hasle is near enough for food, drinks, and supplies. Mobile reception is generally reliable along this part of the coast. Whether you stay for an unhurried afternoon or just an hour’s walk and a quick dip, Hasle Strand works equally well as a dedicated beach destination or as a peaceful pause between other Bornholm adventures.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
