Bagenkop suits groups wanting a quiet stay at the southern tip of Langeland, beside a small harbour with a marina. Many homes have a sauna and half have a fireplace, and most sleep eight or more. None has a pool.
Bagenkop is a small harbour town of about 400 people at the southern end of Langeland, an island about 50 km from north to south. The harbour has a marina and makes an easy family walk, and the coast south of the town has sea views and a peaceful feel. Wild Exmoor ponies can be seen nearby, the Fishery House museum covers local history and fishing, and the Hulbjerg passage grave south of the town dates to 3300 to 3200 BCE. The homes sit in one tight group, mostly large ones with a sauna or fireplace. Evenings are harbour-side and quiet, and the Cold War fort museum opens only from April to October.

Langeland is joined to Funen by a bridge, and a direct bus runs from Copenhagen. Bagenkop is at the southern end of an island about 50 km long, so a car makes the beaches, Rudkøbing and the fort easy to link. Spodsbjerg, on the east coast, has the ferry to Lolland.
