Local tips
- Bring sturdy footwear if fossil hunting by the cliffs; the terrain can be slippery and uneven.
- On windy days, the beach is popular with kite surfers—photographers will find dynamic coastal action.
- Although the beach is family-friendly, there are limited shaded options. A sun hat or parasol is recommended.
- Try local smoked fish from the harbour: the catch-of-the-day is often sold directly from boats in summer.
- A coastal path links Rødvig Beach with the famed Stevns Klint cliffs—a scenic option for walkers.
Getting There

Public Transport
From the main hubs of South Zealand, regional trains connect to Rødvig Station, which is a pleasant stroll from the beachfront. Once arrived, the sea is visible beyond the station lawns—walk towards the harbour and you’ll reach the sand in under 10 minutes. Standard adult tickets from central South Zealand towns average DKK 48–60 each way. Buses also serve Rødvig; check schedules for midday options, especially on weekends.
-
Driving
Approaching from regional landmarks such as Stevns Klint or from central Zealand, follow directional signs to Rødvig. The harbour and beach are the best-known local features—parking is ample immediately beside the waterfront and typically free of charge year-round. Spaces for motorhomes are available, but peak summer weekends see high demand.
-
Walking/Cycling
Cyclists and walkers can use the picturesque coastal path linking surrounding villages and Stevns Klint directly to the beach. This route is scenic and popular, running parallel to open fields and sea views. No fees apply, and bicycles may be parked at provided bike racks near the sand.
-
Taxi
Local taxis from nearby towns or accommodation will drop visitors at the waterfront parking. Typical fares from central South Zealand start at around DKK 140–180; prices increase during evening hours and weekends.
