Martofte is a village on Funen whose postcode reaches Fyns Hoved and the calm, mostly sandy beach at Korshavn. Homes nearly all have a fireplace. None has a pool, and a car is needed for everything.
Martofte is a village on Funen, and its postcode stretches to Fyns Hoved, the headland at the top of Hindsholm, the peninsula that forms the island's north-eastern tip. It once lay at the end of the Odense-Kerteminde-Martofte railway, which closed in 1966, so arrival today is by road. Fyns Hoved separates the Kattegat from the Great Belt, and Korshavn Bay there is a small, shallow natural harbour used by yachtsmen. At Fynshoved beach the sand runs out into the water on the Korshavn side, and the Great Belt side is wilder. Homes are spread over a few kilometres rather than concentrated in one spot, nearly all with a fireplace, a few with a sauna, and most sleeping around six. Fyns Hoved gets well under the Danish average rainfall, and painters have long been drawn to its light.
Free beach at the tip of Hindsholm with a cafe, toilets and car park; dogs are allowed and children do well on the Korshavn side.
A small, shallow bay near the Korshavn Light that works as a natural harbour for visiting yachts.
The village where seven farmers divided the land in 1810, leaving many of the stone walls still seen on the headland.
There is no train: the Odense-Kerteminde-Martofte railway closed in 1966, so every journey ends by road. A car is needed both to reach Martofte and to get about once there, since the homes are spread out and shops, beach and headland are not all on one street.
Fynshoved beach suits swimming and windsurfing, with calm water on the Korshavn side and wilder conditions facing the Great Belt. Shorebirds gather at Fyns Hoved and the headland is a resting place for migrating birds, while harbour porpoises can be seen offshore. Nearly every home has a fireplace, so a stay here also works in cooler weather.
