Djursland’s Coastline, Denmark

The coastline of Djursland in Denmark is 260 kilometers long as measured from the ferry berth in Voer in the middle of Randers Fjord ending at Avlsgård in Aarhus Bay to the south.[1] There are 18 sandy beaches for swimming along the coastline according to the folder, Kystkort Djursland (Coastal Map Djursland) published by the peninsula's two municipalities, Norddjurs and Syddjurs.[2] These beaches cover 15 – 20%. of the total coastline.[1] The remaining 200 plus kilometres are mostly unspoiled coastal nature.

The shorelines of the peninsula face in all directions and are exposed to winds from all directions. This together with the varied geology of the Djursland peninsula with hills to the south and more flat land to the north, contributes to a variety in coastal nature within the limited area of Djursland. The peninsula is on average 35 kilometers long measured on the vertical axis, and about 40 kilometers on the horizontal axis,[1] Djursland protrudes into the Kattegat Sea between Jutland in Denmark, and Sweden on the other side of the Kattegat sea. The Kattegat Sea is the gateway to the Baltic Sea.
Djursland's coastline is located in a temperate coastal climate with an average summer temperature in July of 20 degrees Celsius in the day, and 12 degrees at night, and an average winter temperature in January of 5 degrees in the day and 1 degree at night (1961 – 1990) [3] The sea temperature around Djursland is on average 17 degrees Celsius in July and August (higher close to land) and 2 degrees Celsius in February.[3] The salinity varies somewhere between Atlantic salinity of 35 parts per thousand, and Baltic salinity of 10 – 15 parts per thousand. The variation is due to wind and tidal driven fluctuations in the proportion of Atlantic and Baltic water around Djursland. The daily tidal difference is under 30 centimeters. When storms or heavy winds occasionally drive the water in and out of The Kattegat Sea between The Baltic and the North Sea, the tidal difference can reach over one meter.[3]
The coastline of Djursland can be divided into 4 regions:
The brackish shoreline of Randers Fjord
The shallow waters of the north coast
The exposed stony east coast
The sheltered bays to the south
