On the scenic Røsnæs peninsula, where the land reaches like a long finger into the Great Belt, lies Nyby Havnebad – a charming harbour bath where the maritime life of the marina blends with the bathing life along the coast. Here Nybyvej ends at the mole, and before it a sweeping coastal landscape opens up with light, air and a horizon that seems to stretch on forever. It is a place with soul, where sailors, kayakers and bathers meet in a relaxed, informal atmosphere.

Nyby Havnebad offers the best of two worlds. In front of the mole runs a long beach of sand, mixed with stones and seaweed, giving it a natural, unspoilt character. On top of the mole a bathing terrace has been built, from which you can step straight into the clear water – and the terrace is accessible via a ramp, so the experience is open to more people. On the other side of the mole lies a small, cosy marina that gives the place its distinctive harbour atmosphere.

Its location in the middle of Røsnæs makes Nyby a favourite destination for locals and travellers from afar alike. Sailors from Samsø, Kerteminde and Odsherred put in here, and for bathers the spot is a calm retreat where you can swim, sunbathe or simply enjoy the view across the Great Belt. Nyby Havnebad is part of the Badepunkt scheme, which sets the same high demands for bathing water as the Blue Flag and highlights bathing spots with a distinctive local character and fine opportunities for nature experiences.

Røsnæs is known as one of Denmark's most distinctive natural areas – a narrow, windswept peninsula with hilly terrain, open grassland, old stone dykes and a lighthouse point at the far west, where the sun sets late. Nyby Havnebad is a natural starting point for exploring this dramatic coast, where the sea surrounds the land on all sides and light and wind are always present.

From Nyby it is a short distance to the rest of Kalundborg Municipality and to the whole West Zealand landscape, which offers everything from rolling fields to wooded coastlines.
