Nestled on the eastern shore of the Little Belt in southern Denmark, Hejlsminde Havn (Hejlsminde Marina) is a modest yet welcoming harbor steeped in history. Dating back to the early 20th century as a fishing community's inlet, today it serves leisure craft, small-scale commercial fishing vessels, and seasonal charter boats.

The marina offers moorings, a fuel dock, a charming boat-rental outlet, and a waterfront café that serves as a local gathering spot. Beyond the harbor, you’ll find breathtaking views and opportunities for adventure in the surrounding area.
