Visit Jammerbugten with The Bay Denmark

Visit Jammerbugten with The Bay Denmark

Jammerbugten translates to "the Misery Bay," and the area has an outstanding history, with legends rooted in the traditional Danish coastal fishing culture.  Years ago, many misfortunate sailors perished in the rough seas and sand banks off the coast.  Great efforts were put into saving lives at sea and today, Jammerbugten is no longer a misery bay but a lively coastal resort, known internationally as The Bay Denmark.
 
One of Denmark’s most popular coastal towns, The Bay Denmark is located in the northern region, close to the city of Aalborg (just a few minutes from Aalborg Airport, visitors can take advantage of direct flights to and from a number of major European cities.) The beautiful and diverse nature, wide and pristine sandy beaches and the cosy, authentic Danish countryside have created the perfect setting for you to have a relaxing or active holiday, so discover the charms of Jammerbugten, certainly a land of misery no more. 
 
The Place & the Atmosphere
 
The resort offers the perfect blend of picturesque rural countryside, medieval churches, ancient castles and a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere; being on holiday in The Bay equals pure tranquillity.  Luxurious holiday homes are also scattered around the countryside, several of them nestled amongst the dunes and only a stone’s throw from the sea.  The Bay is not simply characterised by wide, natural expanses that are just waiting to be explored.  Jammerbugten is also in possession of an arresting history and resounds with stories from the past, whilst the echoes of a unique cultural atmosphere will make for a holiday of meaningful experiences.
