Feddet Strand

Feddet Beach is located on the Feddet peninsula near Faxe, where a long, narrow spit of land separates Faxe Bay from Præstø Fjord. The peninsula was formed by beach ridges over the past approximately 2,000 years and is still growing due to the constant supply of sand from the north-east. The subsoil consists primarily of gravel, sand and flint, creating nutrient-poor soil and a very special plant and animal life. Feddet is home to, among other things, Zealand's largest heath with heather, grass and scattered pine, oak and birch forest, and the peninsula is often described as a little piece of West Jutland in the middle of the Zealand landscape. The beach itself stretches for several kilometres and is particularly child-friendly with its shallow, calm water.
