Klintholm Havn combines an active fishing harbour with beaches and a range of activities on the water. From year-round salmon fishing to seasonal boat trips, activities are available at different times of year. There are also plenty of options on land: Møns Klint and Høvblege are accessible from Klintholm Havn on foot or by bicycle.

Fishing Harbour and Beaches

Fishing is still carried out in Klintholm Havn. Large landings of herring and cod occur at certain times; fishing activity may vary seasonally. The harbour is accessible to vessels around the clock. Check the current conditions before setting out.

Klintholm Havn lies between two of Møn’s bathing beaches. At the beach on the west side, you have to walk a long way into the water before it gets deep. This beach is particularly suitable for families with children; beach conditions can vary.

Water Sports and Tours

Salmon fishing is possible year-round from Klintholm Havn. Boat trips along the chalk cliffs of Møns Klint depart from here. These departures are seasonal or depend on the individual operator. The two activities therefore differ in their scheduling: while salmon fishing is available all year round, you should check the season and operator for boat trips.

At Møn Surf, you can learn kitesurfing, surfing, windsurfing and stand-up paddleboarding. Check which courses are available before your trip. Møn Surf Café rents out SUP boards and surfboards; rental availability may vary. You can also get information there about the courses on offer and surf spots on the island.

If you want to go kayaking, there is a route from Klintholm Havn to Møns Klint. It is about 18–22 km long and requires paddling experience. Kayaks can be launched at the bridge outside the smokehouse or at the two beaches on either side of the harbour. Weather and water levels can affect conditions at the launch sites.

On Foot, by Bicycle and in the Local Area

Møns Klint and Høvblege can be reached from Klintholm Havn on foot or by bicycle. The Kridtstien between Camp Møns Klint and Geocentret can also be used on foot or by bicycle. In addition to activities on the water, there are paths and destinations for visitors who prefer to explore on land.

Bus services run from Klintholm Havn to Stege and other parts of Møn. Since services may change seasonally, check the timetable for your travel dates. The tourist information office, supported by local hosts, is available for inspiration, advice and practical information about your visit. You can enjoy a cold drink at a café overlooking the harbour; individual establishments may change.

Harbour History and Choosing Where to Stay

In 1911, Klintholm Havn was expanded with a fishing harbour and a lifeboat station. A memorial stone at the harbour commemorates concentration camp prisoners from the German Stutthof concentration camp near Gdańsk, Poland, who were rescued there. This history adds to the picture of the harbour as a place where fishing and rescue services have played a historical role.

If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Klintholm Havn, what you want to focus on during your stay can help you choose the destination: water sports include courses, board rental and a kayaking route that requires experience; on land, the beaches and destinations such as Møns Klint and Høvblege take centre stage. Timing also varies: boat trips depend on the season or operator, while salmon fishing is possible year-round.
