this is probably a long shot, but this is a photo of the beach where my great nans ashes were scattered years ago. my great grandad passed a few years ago and we’ve wanted to scatter his ashes in the same place but my mum can’t remember the name of the beach and my grandad is getting old so he can’t remember either

  1. It looks like somewhere on the West coast of Jutland due to the broad beach and the dunes.

  2. West coast of Jutland or some island like Fanø or Romø.

  3. Are there any indications of area? It could be Dueodde beach on Bornholm, but it is a long shot for sure.

  4. Most likely Western Jutland, but the area is huge, and the dunes are moving, so I’m sorry to say that I doubt you’ll be able to recognise it.

  5. I’m going to guess somewhere in Jutland, since there is a car on the beach.

  6. Sorry, but this could be, quite literally any spot along the entire west coast of Jutland. (but most likely west coast, at least.) Know any cities near the west coast of Jutland?

  7. Driving cars on the beach is only on the west coast.. I think. I don’t know any place in Shetland or fyn where you can do that.

  8. West Coast of Denmark. Driving on the beach is most common at Fanø, Rømø, and from Blokhus to Løkken.

    It can be done in other places, but the ones mentioned are the most common ones.

  10. west coast Jutland, could be near Hirtshals but also many other places that looks like this..

  15. Be aware that scattering ashes is not permitted on land in Denmark. It has to be done at least 200 meters from the shoreline.
    But looking at the picture it is highly likely to be Rindby Strand on the island of Fanø.

  16. Could be Fanø at Rindby. Seems like the car could be exiting. You can easily see the water – the beach at Rømø is a bit wider, especially at Lakolk where you enter the beach.

  17. Ok, so I cannot be 100% about this, but if you drive to Rømø while it is high tide and take a left as soon as you get down onto the beach itself, and walk into the dunes, then turn to face the sea, this is exactly what you’ll be looking at..

  18. My bet is a beach with access with car between Hanstholm and Hirtshals. Simply put Hirtshals into google maps and scour the beach northward and check for beach and/or city names.

    My second bet would be between Henne Strand and Hvide Sande, same procedure.

    I base this on the fairly low dunes, and sandy beaches. You can find similar beaches a few other places, but these are the stretches where this landscape is fairly consistant between point a and b.

  19. Looks like Fanø or Vejers in the western part of Jutland

  23. I thought Saltum, and i used to live there. But honestly there is no way to say for sure. Large parts of western jutland looks exactly like this.

  25. Ligner billedet er taget til venstre for indkørslen ved Tornby Strand

  28. i would guess fanø or rømø. try to look on google earth at some of the places where the roads go onto the beach on those islands. like this place [**https://earth.google.com/web/search/Fan%c3%b8/@55.42015344,8.37693024,1.72870755a,0d,60y,206.15640554h,77.71853754t,0r/data=CiwiJgokCapGzEKY0ktAEQK1krgp0ktAGdckzi4a7ydAISVirUIT6SdAQgIIASIaChZfbU4wTXVUNlk2akFld1lyTjdiZEpREAI6AwoBMEICCABKDQj**](https://earth.google.com/web/search/Fan%c3%b8/@55.42015344,8.37693024,1.72870755a,0d,60y,206.15640554h,77.71853754t,0r/data=CiwiJgokCapGzEKY0ktAEQK1krgp0ktAGdckzi4a7ydAISVirUIT6SdAQgIIASIaChZfbU4wTXVUNlk2akFld1lyTjdiZEpREAI6AwoBMEICCABKDQj)

  30. Fanø or Rømø indeed.
    They few beaches where you can drive at.
