We visited this harbour on a couple of occasions whilst on holiday at kikhavn.
Its right next to the train station, and a free car park.
There is a play park, a crazy golf course, shops and a pontoon where you can do some crabbing, there is also a couple of touch pools with fish, crabs and star fish to see and touch,
there is also lots of places to eat, and just a few minutes away is the main high street with lots of shops.
2. Knud Rasmussens Hus
Overall Ratings
4 based on 53 reviews
The house was built in 1917, while Knud was away on The 2nd Thule Expedition. Rather than being a traditional summer residence for the family, the house came to be a place for Knud to immerse himself in his work away from the bustle and social commitments of the capitol.In 1939 Knud's widow, Dagmar Rasmussen, made over the grounds and the house with all its contents to Torup Parish. Shortly thereafter it was opened to the public and has been so ever since.Helge Bojsen-Moller was the architect, and in drawing up the blueprints for the house he was inspired by the English "cottage style" of the day. Apart from being a renowned architect In Denmark, he had also been at the head of a number of building projects in Greenland. He was an obvious choice for the task.Some years following the building of the main house an annex was added. This became Knud's private study and was later connected to the main house via a long corridor.

Knud Rasmussen (1879-1933) was among the greatest arctic explorers after the generatíon of Amundsen et. al. He made seven major expeditions to Greenland and the Arctic, the fifth (1921-24) being the most important reaching as far as the Pacific Ocean (18.000 km). In this house you can experience how he lived (being home) from 1917 to his death. The site has outstanding sea-view, and if you stay for more than a very short visit, you can experience the changing weather (as in the Arctic): calm --) stormy waves, sun --) clouds --) rain and so on. A ticket cost 60 DKK and it is also valid for the interesting Powder Museum (Frederiksværk)

I visited the sand sculpture festival in August 2012. This year it was just as impressive. The fantastic work of the artists is outstanding. Inside the hall you can draw in sand placed on a glass board. Under the glass board is reflecting colourful light. The entrance fee only costs 45 kr, and a booklet with images and descriptions of the sculptures and artists only costs 10 kr.
Definitely worth a visit.

An unexpected surprise to find a glasswork of such a high standard on the edge of Zealand. Rich and wide selection, great design and fine workmanship.

We often take Fjordstien from here near Hald Strand to Hundested. It's a long walk, which follows the coastline most of the time, but easy. We walk by the old fishing town of Kikhavn, stop for a coffee in the Gardens of Knud Rasmussen's house and end up in Hundested by the harbour. You can continue thru to Lynaes Harbour where there are now 3 restaurants/cafes and a grill. The path is clearly marked and is popular with both pedestrians and cyclists. We normally take the train back.

On the northern coast if Zealand is a great coastline which in many parts offer some of the finest Beaches in Denmark. The sand and the dunes changes in size and character and does the various small towns lying at the coastline.
We have visited the coast in Liseleje every year for six decades and find pride in calling it our second home.

Absolut et besøg værd, selv om det kan være lidt svært at gå derop for dårligt gående. Heroppefra sendte Valdemar Poulsen med sin gnistsender meddelelser ud som den første. Han er også kendt, som den første der kunne lave lydoptagelser på hvad der blev forgængeren til vor tids båndoptagere. Han var en sand pioner.
Nyd udsigten fra dette høje punkt ud over vandet. Pinsemorgen starter Lynæs kirke en meget kort gudstjeneste her. Et flot sted at synge "I al sin glans nu stråler solen"
