Beach
No bathing beach is available directly by Egense, but the location by the Kattegat means that a good bathing beach is never far away. Towards the north you will find the child-friendly beaches of Hou Strand (12 km) and Bisnap Strand (7 km). Both beaches have fine sand, a sandy bottom, shallow water and Blue Flag. Towards the south lies the beach of Øster Hurup (12 km). The long, white beach has low dunes and Blue Flag. The beach is very suitable for children as the waves are small and the water shallow. The beach is a popular place for bathing, sunbathing, windsurfing and other beach activities.

Nature
The landscape surrounding Egense is scenic and varying. Mulbjerge is a preserved and rather distinctive moraine hillock of 144 hectares near Dokkedal. From here you have a fantastic view of the sea towards the east and the elongated plain landscape towards the west (7 km). Kongerslev Hede is a preserved moor landscape, which also contains some old bronze age mounds. From these mounds you have an amazing view of the area. By the shallow wetlands between Egense and Hals you will find a spectacular bird life. The national park Lille Vildmose is the largest marsh area in Denmark and contains lakes, farm areas and the forests Høstemark Skov and Toft Skov.. Further inland you can experience the largest forest area in Denmark. Rold Skov has an undulating terrain, many forest lakes, springs, varying forest, a rich animal life and a number of walking paths. The forest is definitely worth a visit.
