Boesdal Kalkbrud Strand
Beach at the historic Boesdal Lime Quarry on Stevns. What makes Boesdal truly special is the access to the beach. Boesdal is one of the few places where you can walk 'through' the cliff and out to the sea, through the opening where flint was previously tipped onto the beach. The surplus flint from lime extraction was transported out through a tunnel blasted into the cliff — the tunnel grew larger and larger, and today it serves as a passage to the sea and the cliff face. This also means that from the quarry you can walk all the way down to the beach without stairs, making the site unusually accessible.

Feddet Beach is located on the Feddet peninsula near Faxe, where a long, narrow spit of land separates Faxe Bay from Præstø Fjord.

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 was created by a group of local volunteers after years of planning and a community survey in the town. At approximately six metres in length, it was called Denmark's smallest bathing beach at its inauguration, and that very modest size has become the place's charm and characteristic. Glumsø Lake actually has a long bathing history — as far back as the 1930s and up until the end of the Second World War, the lake was a popular excursion and bathing spot where many of the town's children learned to swim.

Ulvshale Strand runs along the eastern side of the peninsula and offers kilometres of fine, white sand edged by a large dune landscape. The beach has shallow, calm water that makes it particularly child-friendly, holds the Blue Flag for good bathing water quality, and an accessible path ensures entry for everyone — it has even previously received a European award as one of Europe's best bathing beaches. When the wind blows in from the east, lucky beach visitors may find amber washed up in the sand. The peninsula itself is a piece of geological history: Ulvshale was formed from material from Møns Klint, where the sea eroded the flint, carried it westward and deposited it in parallel beach ridges. The beach borders Ulvshale Skov, a rare natural forest with walking trails, and the entire area is part of Naturnationalpark Ulvshale — a 380-hectare mosaic of forest, heath, meadow, scrub and dune, most of which has never been cultivated. The area is recognised through Natura 2000, Ramsar, Bioshere Møn and Dark Sky, and from the nearby bird towers you can observe the rich birdlife on the coastal meadows towards the small island of Nyord.
