Roneklint Fyr Lighthouse & Snorkelling Spot
Small historic lighthouse at the mouth of Præstø Fjord, with shallow child‑friendly beaches, rich snorkelling waters and tranquil coastal scenery.
Roneklint Fyr is a small historic lighthouse on the edge of Præstø Fjord in South Zealand, framed by shallow beaches, big skies and tranquil coastal scenery. Once a navigation aid in Faxe Bay, it now anchors a low-key recreation area with a child-friendly beach, rich snorkelling waters and views towards the islet Maderne. Simple, uncommercial and atmospheric, it is ideal for quiet walks, sea breezes, picnics and easy access to the water, with a small exhibition in the old lighthouse.

Local tips
- Bring water shoes or sturdy sandals; the beach mixes sand and small stones, and the shallow seabed can be pebbly and slippery in places.
- Pack snorkel gear on calm days to explore sand reefs, seaweed beds and small fish in the shallow waters near the lighthouse and channel.
- Dress in layers and a windproof jacket outside high summer; the exposed coastline can feel significantly cooler than inland.
- If you plan longer time by the water, bring snacks and drinks, as there are no major food outlets directly at the lighthouse.
- Keep an eye on currents closer to the marked channel and ensure weaker swimmers stay within the very shallow, sheltered area by the beach.

Car from Præstø town
From central Præstø, driving to Roneklint Fyr typically takes about 10–15 minutes via local roads through the countryside. The route is straightforward and paved throughout. There is a small informal parking area near the lighthouse and beach, but spaces are limited in peak summer and may fill on sunny weekends. There is no parking fee at the lighthouse itself; fuel costs are the only expense for this option.
-
Bicycle from Præstø town
Cycling from Præstø to Roneklint Fyr usually takes around 25–40 minutes, depending on pace. The distance is moderate and the terrain mostly flat, using a mix of smaller country roads and local lanes that are suitable for riders with basic road confidence. There is no dedicated bike parking infrastructure at the lighthouse, but bicycles can be securely locked to fences or placed off the main path. This option is free aside from any bike rental cost you may incur in town.
-
Regional bus plus short walk
Regional buses in the Vordingborg municipality connect Præstø with nearby villages, and some services stop within a few kilometres of Roneklint. Typical travel time on the bus segment is about 10–20 minutes, followed by a walk of roughly 20–30 minutes along quiet local roads to reach the lighthouse. Single bus tickets on local routes generally cost in the range of 20–40 DKK per adult, depending on zones and operator. Service frequency can be lower in evenings and weekends, so checking the timetable in advance is important.

A modest lighthouse at the edge of fjord and bay
Roneklint Fyr stands at the mouth of Præstø Fjord where the calm, shallow waters meet the more open Faxe Bay, a compact white lighthouse in a gently sloping coastal landscape. It once served coastal sailors navigating the narrow channel between the mainland and the little islet of Maderne, signalling safe passage in an area known for shifting shoals and sandbanks. Today the light still feels like a quiet sentinel, more a landmark for walkers, paddlers and snorkellers than for ships. Around the building, low grass, scattered bushes and a simple track give the place an unpolished, authentic feel. There are no grand facilities or heavy infrastructure here; instead the attraction lies in the openness of the seascape, the curve of the coastline and the sense that this is still a working piece of maritime heritage folded into everyday nature.Coastal nature and views across Faxe Bay
Standing by the lighthouse you look out over broad, shallow waters where the colour of the sea changes with the light and wind. At low tide you can often see sandbars emerging and darker patches of eelgrass swaying under the surface. Across the water lie the flat outlines of Maderne and the wooded fringe of Hejreskov, giving a layered horizon that changes as you move along the shore. Birdlife is a constant presence. Waders probe the wet sand, gulls circle lazily, and in the cooler months you may spot flocks of ducks or swans resting on the fjord. The relatively undeveloped shoreline helps preserve a feeling of space and calm; even on breezy days there is an underlying softness in the soundscape of waves, reeds and distant bird calls.Family‑friendly beaches and snorkelling waters
Immediately by the lighthouse you find a small beach, a mix of sand and rounded stones. The seabed shelves very gradually here, creating a notably shallow, protected zone that suits children and hesitant swimmers. You can wade out a long way before the water reaches your waist, which also makes it easier to explore with a mask and snorkel. Beneath the surface, the coast is known for its biodiversity, with sand reefs, stones, patches of seaweed and small fish darting between them. On calm days, snorkellers can follow the transition from beach to deeper channel, spotting crabs, flatfish and, with luck, eels. The lack of heavy boat traffic close to shore keeps the atmosphere relaxed, though currents increase near the marked channel and require sensible care.A simple stop for kayaks and coastal wanderers
Roneklint Fyr is one of those low-key spots that suits an unhurried visit. Paddlers often use the nearby beach as a starting point, taking advantage of the sheltered fjord to explore coves and shallows by sea kayak or stand-up paddleboard. The flat terrain and open views also make it a pleasant place for short coastal walks, pausing to watch light play across the water. The lighthouse itself sometimes hosts a small exhibition that illustrates the area’s maritime role and natural environment. Even when the door is closed, the building and its setting tell their own story of Danish coastal life: functional, modest and closely tied to the rhythms of the sea and weather.Quiet moments in changing Scandinavian light
What lingers most after a visit is the interplay of light, water and sky. Early and late in the day the low sun can turn the sandbars golden and the sea metallic blue, while clouds sweep over the flat landscape in broad strokes. On still summer evenings the fjord can look glassy and reflective; in winter, sharp winds and grey skies highlight the rawness of the coast. Whether you come for a quick look at the lighthouse, a family paddle in the shallows or a longer snorkelling session, Roneklint Fyr offers an accessible slice of South Zealand’s coastline. It is not a place of spectacle but of gentle detail: ripples in the sand, seaweed on stones, the glow of the lighthouse against a wide northern sky.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
