7,300 kilometres of coastline.

"With 7,300 kilometres of coastline and almost 200 Blue Flag beaches, it’s no wonder that the majority of tourists to Denmark spend at least some of their holiday along the coast. The glorious white, sandy beaches are made for relaxation on a sunny day or, if you are feeling energetic, head for one of the surfing beaches – Denmark has great conditions for surfing. Make the most of the long summer days with a picnic supper as you wait for the sun to set."

The Kingdom of Denmark (Danish: Kongeriget Danmark) is the smallest and southernmost of the Nordic countries. Located north of Germany (its only land neighbour), southwest of Sweden, and south of Norway, it is in Scandinavia in northern Europe, but not on the Scandinavian Peninsula.

Denmark borders the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, and consists of a peninsula named Jutland (Jylland) attached to Northern Germany, the islands of Funen (Fyn), Zealand (Sjælland), Bornholm (Bornholm) and many smaller islands, often referred to as the Danish Archipelago.

The circumstance that Denmark is split into many islands is due to the fact that the country´s average height above sea level is only 31 metres (101 ft).This in turn results in a long coastline, more than 7,400 km (4,600 miles). If Denmark was formed as a perfect circle, the circumference would be only 742 km (461 miles). Another feature that shows the close connection between the land and ocean is that no location in Denmark is farther from the nearest coast than 52 km (32.3 miles). In addition, the size of the land area of Denmark cannot be stated exactly, as the ocean constantly erodes and adds material to the coastline, and because of human land reclamation projects (i.e. to counter the erosion).
