description Grenen (Skagen) Overview
Grenen is a long, shifting sandy spit at the northern end of Skagen in Denmark. It marks the meeting area of waters associated with the Skagerrak and Kattegat, where opposing wave patterns can often be seen, although the exact boundary is not a fixed line. Currents around the tip can be hazardous, so visitors commonly walk along the beach or use local transport to reach the point rather than enter the water.
