Dike and Coastal Landscape

Maglehøj Beach is located in scenic surroundings along Lolland's Dike. At Maglehøj Beach, visitors can walk along Denmark's longest dike. The beach and the dike offer two different spaces for activities: spending time by the shore and following a path along Lolland's Dike. The combination of shore and dike makes this coastal section a place where swimming and walking can be planned separately from one another.

Coastal Fishing in Spring and Autumn

In the coastal fishing area near Maglehøj Beach, sea trout pass through in spring and autumn. The coastal fishing area extends from Rudbjerghave westwards along Sønderstrand to Vesterskov. Rudbjerghave marks the beginning of the section, Sønderstrand lies along its route, and Vesterskov forms the western endpoint. For planning coastal fishing, both the period in spring or autumn and the geographical line between these three coastal points are therefore relevant. Anyone wishing to combine the sea trout season with a coastal section can therefore use spring or autumn, as well as the westward-running route, as points of reference. The fishing area follows a clear westward line.
