About Ballehage
Ballehage is an urban, public beach located in Aarhus, Denmark. The beach is 129 meters long and has a sandy surface. OpenStreetMap lists a nearby beach called Moesgård Beach, which is 3.97 kilometers away.
Ballehage Beach is an urban, public beach in the southern parts of Aarhus, Denmark and since 1929 it has been one of the oldest sea baths in Denmark. Ballehage Beach is situated in the Marselisborg Forests on the Bay of Aarhus in the suburb of Højbjerg, south of Marselisborg Yacht Harbour and the Aarhus River mouth. Helgenæs lies across the bay to the east, a bit inland to the west is the Marselisborg Deer Park and to the north is the Varna Palace. The beach area is some 1,000 metres (1,000 yards) long and between 10 and 30 metres (30 and 100 feet) wide. It is a white sandy beach with occasional rows of boulders extending into the sea, for coastal erosion protection. Ballehage Beach is popular for sunbathing and swimming due to the shielding effect and scenic view of the nearby forest on the steep hillsides to the west.
