Crime rate in Skagen

Skagen, situated at the very northern tip of Jutland, is a picturesque seaside town famous for its unique light, yellow houses, and art history. It is a wildly popular and extremely safe summer destination for wealthy Danes and international tourists alike. Crime is not a concern. The greatest risk in Skagen is the ocean. At Grenen, the sandbar where the Skagerrak and Kattegat seas collide, the natural phenomenon is beautiful to watch, but the intersecting currents and undertows are violently strong and unpredictable. Swimming at Grenen is strictly forbidden and highly lethal. If you want to swim, only use the designated, calmer beaches on the eastern coast.
