- Facilities are limited—there are no lifeguards or changing rooms, so plan accordingly.
Getting There
-
Walking
From the heart of Lolland’s Bandholm village, a leisurely 5–10 minute stroll along the waterfront parklands brings you directly to the beach. The harbor and old ferry pier serve as clear orientation points—simply follow the shoreline toward the open sea, and the beach’s park setting becomes immediately apparent. Access is completely free.
-
Public Transport
Regional buses from Maribo or central Lolland make Bandholm easily accessible; disembark near the Bandholm harbor area. From the last stop, it's a short walk through tranquil park grounds to the strand. A single ticket typically costs DKK 24–35 for adults, with services more frequent in summer, but limited on Sundays and holidays.
-
Taxi/Car
A taxi from Maribo or other central Lolland locations reaches Bandholm Strand in 15–20 minutes, with fares commonly DKK 170–250 depending on the starting point. Ample free parking is typically available at the edge of the park near the beach, though it can fill up on the hottest summer afternoons.
