Harbours have an almost magnetic attraction. Odsherred boasts with four fine harbours each with its own personal flair, but all sharing one thing: Here the tourists and locals meet in the evenings.

A view of the islands.

Havnsø, at the bottom of Nekselø bay, is beautifully situated, overlooking both Nekselø and the hills of Vejrhøj. Small fishing boats, yachts, not forgetting the two ferries to Nekselø and Sejerø all provide the town with atmosphere and life. Close to the harbour, you will find a hotel, restaurant and supermarket.


Arne Jacobsen on Sjællands Odde.

Sjællands Odde simply exudes of fisherman atmosphere, with its cutters, smokehouse, shipyard and fishmongers. The smokehouse was designed by the world-famous architect, Arne Jacobsen.



Nykøbing Sj. harbour has become an interesting residential and recreational area. Apart from a yachting harbour with fine facilities (Blue Flag), the harbourg boasts with exclusive, maritime-style apartment buildings and unique houseboats. All this – together with a number of artisans’ studios – has given Nykøbing harbour a new, intriguing profile.

Catching crabs.

Rørvig harbour is a real holiday treasure, with children fishing for crabs from the pier and fine restaurants. The cosy little ferry sailing between Rørvig and Hundested adds to the atmosphere. Fine and modern facilities (Blue flag).
