This charming marina provides berths for about 30 pleasure boats and a handful of slip-in berths for larger yachts, making it an ideal base for exploring the scenic beauty of Køge Bay. Its location offers easy access to the nearby islands of Saltholm and Peberholm, as well as opportunities for short coastal cruises toward Copenhagen’s harbor.
