Balka Beach is one of Bornholm’s – and the Nordic region’s – absolute best beaches, with the finest white sand, crystal-clear water, and conditions that make it perfect for families with children. Here, you’ll find lively and joyful summer days, where both locals and tourists enjoy the beach itself and the cozy, inviting atmosphere of Balka and Snogebæk.

The beach is about 1 kilometre long and stretches from Balka Harbour to Snogebæk, which offers a wonderful summer atmosphere with restaurants, bars and shops. The area around Balka Beach is a popular holiday destination with many holiday homes and several seaside hotels, and it is an ideal place for anyone wishing to experience the Bornholm summer at its best.

On the beach, you’ll find surf schools and water bike rentals, among other activities. Balka Beach is accessible for people with disabilities, with good parking facilities, and in the middle of the beach, a long wooden ramp leads almost all the way to the water’s edge. 

From the pier at Balka Harbour, there is a view towards Lange Skanse and Balka Beach. The video was recorded just before sunset, when the sky takes on beautiful colours and the atmosphere is calm and relaxing.
