Season

Bathing water profile section on classification is revised annually in November after the bathing season ends.

Water Quality

Water quality classification: Excellent, based on measurements of intestinal enterococci and E. coli from 2019-2022 according to EU bathing water directive rules. Kalundborg Municipality has no information about drains, watercourses, or other sources near the beach that could cause faecal pollution, therefore the risk is assessed as very small.

Risks

Risk of cyanobacteria blooms exists but cannot be reliably predicted. Large amounts of seaweed (macroalgae) at the beach edge may pose health risks to animals and humans. Glass shards, waste, and chemical pollution may occasionally occur. Information boards are erected during periods of elevated risk for cyanobacteria blooms or large amounts of seaweed.
