Villas in Hundested
Hundested suits families and sailors who want a working harbour, a sandy town beach and the Isefjord ferry at the tip of Halsnæs. The harbour runs to galleries and fish restaurants rather than a resort strip, and the homes are spread around the town rather than on the quay, so allow for short drives.

About Hundested
Hundested sits at the tip of the Halsnæs peninsula by the entrance to the Isefjord, with Lynæs Harbour to the south near the mouth of Roskilde Fjord. Its first building is thought to be a pilots' house from 1835, and it soon grew into Zealand's most important fishing port. The harbour is still the centre of town, now shared with galleries, a glassblowing workshop and fish restaurants. Trekanten Beach, about 300 metres of sand backed by dunes, is a walk from the harbour, and Lynæs is where you can try windsurfing and kitesurfing. Kikhavn, just east of town, is an old fishing hamlet of half-timbered houses. The homes are spread around Hundested.
