Leestrup Beach: Coast, Strandholm and Fishing

If you are considering Leestrup Beach as a destination for a hotel stay, local information gives you several clearly distinct points of reference. Strandholm is associated with a swimming area and specific measurements; Leestrup Beach is described as a fishing spot. A survey of the water bat adds a nature-related aspect to these topics. This helps you assess the destination according to the interests that matter for your stay.

Coast and Strandholm swimming area

A landscape description from 2021 characterizes the coast between Sivet and Leestrup Beach as a protected coast formed by accretion. Accretion is the formation of land through the deposition of material. This landscape information applies to the coastal stretch between the two places named. The specific information about Strandholm is separate: a municipal swimming profile from May 2016 describes the beach there as a salt meadow protected under Section 3. The two descriptions of protection and landscape therefore relate to different areas.

The swimming profile describes the water at Strandholm as very shallow: several hundred metres from the shore, it is no more than 1 metre deep. The swimming area is about 70 metres wide. The figure of about 70 metres refers to the width of the swimming area, while the depth measurement concerns the water farther offshore. Both figures describe the Strandholm swimming area and cannot be applied to the entire coastal stretch.

A swimming profile from May 2016 records a large bathing jetty at Strandholm for the summer months. If the jetty is important for your visit, check its current availability in advance.

Getting to Strandholm

The route to Strandholm runs from Route 209 (Præstøvej/Strandvejen), at the turnoff by Strandhuse/Leestrup Beach, along Strandholm road. The beach is about 300 metres from the main road. This distance refers to the stretch between the main road and the beach. The municipal swimming profile from May 2016 specifies this route; check current local conditions before your visit. The route, turnoff and road name provide specific points of reference.

Fishing and nature observation

Leestrup Beach is described as a fishing spot for pike, perch and sea trout. The spot is relatively shallow and has a varied seabed. The fish species indicate possible fishing targets, while the description of the depth and seabed explains the character of the spot. Before fishing, check the applicable regulations, seasonal restrictions and local access conditions.

A survey conducted by Faxe Municipality between 2022 and 2024 recorded the earliest registration of the Daubenton's bat at Leestrup Beach as 95 minutes after sunset. This time refers to a registration during the survey period, not a set time for observing one during an individual visit. It adds a specific time-related nature detail to the swimming and fishing topics.
