Kaprifolievej strand

Kaprifolievej Strand is a quiet, local beach on the cliff coast at Vejby Strand in North Zealand. Reached by a long stairway from a grassy plateau, it offers wide sea views over the Kattegat, stony but swimmable shallows, and big skies at sunset. With only a small car park, no lifeguard, and no built-up facilities, it feels like a peaceful hideaway between popular North Coast resorts.

Local tips

Bring sturdy sandals or water shoes, as the beach and seabed are mostly covered with rounded stones rather than soft sand.
Pack drinks, snacks and a blanket for the grassy clifftop, as there are no kiosks or cafés directly at the beach.
Allow extra time and energy for the long stairway; it has several resting landings but is not suitable for prams or wheelchairs.
Check wind and wave conditions before swimming, especially with children, as there is no lifeguard on duty.

Getting There

Regional train and local walk from Copenhagen

From central Copenhagen, take a regional train towards Hillerød and change to the local line to Vejby Station; the full journey typically takes 1.5–2 hours and costs around 120–180 DKK one way in total in standard class. From Vejby Station, allow about 30–40 minutes on foot along local roads through the summerhouse area to reach the clifftop at Kaprifolievej Strand. The walk is gently hilly, on paved and gravel surfaces, and suitable for most walkers but not ideal for heavy luggage.
Car from Copenhagen via North Coast route

Driving from central Copenhagen to Kaprifolievej Strand usually takes 1–1.5 hours depending on traffic, following main routes towards Hillerød and then out along the North Coast. Fuel and tolls together typically amount to the equivalent of 70–130 DKK each way, depending on vehicle and route. The final approach is along narrow summerhouse roads, and at the beach there is only a small car park with space for roughly two dozen vehicles, so spaces can fill quickly on hot days and careful, considerate parking is essential.
Cycling along the North Coast from Tisvildeleje

From Tisvildeleje town and beach area, cycling to Kaprifolievej Strand follows the coastal summerhouse roads and sections of the signed North Coast cycle route. The ride typically takes 20–30 minutes at an easy pace and involves short hills but no extreme gradients. There is no specific fee beyond any bicycle rental cost, which in local shops in the region is often around 100–200 DKK per day. Surfaces vary between asphalt and compacted gravel, so basic hybrid or city bikes are suitable; carry lights and extra layers if returning after sunset.

Clifftop hideaway on North Zealand’s wild coast

Kaprifolievej Strand is tucked into the dramatic cliff coastline between Tisvildeleje and Rågeleje, in the summerhouse area of Vejby Strand. Here the land drops steeply towards the Kattegat, and the beach lies as a narrow fringe of stones and sand at the foot of the slope. Above, an open grassy area of a few hectares crowns the cliff, giving you a sense of space and big horizons. Rather than a busy resort strand, this is very much a local spot. A small lane leads to a modest gravel car park, after which the rest is all about sea, sky and wind. On clear days you can see far up and down the coastline, and the light over the water changes constantly as clouds move in from the west.

The long stairway and the feeling of arrival

Access to the water is via one of the area’s longest beach stairways, a descent that builds a gentle sense of anticipation. The staircase threads down the cliff in flights with landings and benches, inviting you to pause, catch your breath and enjoy the view. Each level reveals a slightly different angle on the shoreline and surrounding landscape. The construction is sturdy but the many steps can be demanding for anyone with reduced mobility, and it shapes the whole experience here: once you have walked down, you are committed to staying for a while. That effort helps keep the atmosphere calm, with fewer casual passers-by than at car-front beaches.

Stone shore, clear water and simple sea bathing

At the bottom of the staircase you step onto a narrow, mostly stony beach. The stones are rounded and pleasant enough underfoot with water shoes, and shallow water close to shore makes it possible to wade in before swimming. The seabed alternates between stones and patches of sand, typical for this stretch of coast. There are no lifeguards, bathing jetties or marked zones, so you need to judge conditions yourself and keep an eye on children. On calm summer days the water is inviting for a dip or a short swim parallel to the shore. Outside high season it becomes more of a place for brisk paddles, sea-air walks and winter bathing for the hardy.

Grassy plateau and unforgettable sunsets

The large grassy area at the top of the cliff is one of Kaprifolievej Strand’s defining features. It functions almost like a natural balcony, with uninterrupted views over the Kattegat and the rolling coastline of North Zealand. Many visitors simply linger up here, using the grass as an informal picnic spot or stretching out with a book while listening to the waves below. Because the beach faces northwest, sunsets can be spectacular. On clear evenings the sun drops directly towards the water, colouring the sky in layers of orange, pink and deep blue. Simple wooden benches and informal seating spots along the edge of the grass make it easy to settle in for the show, wrapped in a jacket or blanket even on cool nights.

A minimalist escape between livelier seaside towns

Part of the charm of Kaprifolievej Strand lies in what is not here. There are no kiosks, cafés, or changing buildings, and facilities are limited to the small parking area and informal paths. The closest services, eateries and shopping are found in the surrounding summerhouse areas and nearby coastal towns, which keeps the beach itself pleasantly uncluttered. The setting makes this a good choice if you enjoy combining sea views with walking or cycling along the North Coast, pausing here for a swim, a quiet rest or a slow picnic in the grass. It suits travellers who value simplicity and nature above classic resort comforts, and who do not mind a long stairway as the price of a beautiful, unspoiled corner of the Danish coast.

Seasonal moods and local coastal character

Kaprifolievej Strand changes character through the year. In high summer the water is warm enough for long swims and the grass above becomes a casual meeting place for families and friends staying in nearby summer houses. Spring and autumn bring more wind and shifting light, highlighting the raw shapes of cliff and sea. In winter, waves often strike the stone shore with more force, and the area becomes a contemplative lookout point for those who like the North Sea atmosphere without the full exposure of the west coast. Throughout all seasons, the beach remains tied closely to its local surroundings: a simple, coastal access point used by residents and in-the-know visitors who appreciate its understated beauty and the feeling of having found a small, well-kept secret along North Zealand’s busy holiday shoreline.
