Because of the countless islands (Not counting Greenland and the Faroe Islands) and water all around, "tiny" mainland Denmark has more than 7,300 kilometers of coastline/beach (or more than 4500 miles), which is actually more than Spain and Turkey and slightly less than Italy, including 250 Blue Flag beaches and 50 Blue Flag marinas, so it's fairly easy finding crowd-free beaches.
There is a 25% VAT sales tax on everything in Denmark, so this is how Denmark is able to tax all the tourist, but considering the infrastructure with all the free stuff and how clean everything is kept, you actually get your moneys worth. I would not say that the food itself is all too expensive considering the quality, but the beverage is if you are eating out, so good advise is always to buy your drinks and beverages vastly cheaper at a local supermarket.
Thank you for your comment. Yes, we know about the 25% tax. We went out to eat twice and were surprised that we paid €65 for 2 pizzas and 2 beers in a restaurant in Skagen. We had already been to the North Sea coast before and paid around €20 less there. And we also went shopping in the supermarket. We didn't think it was too expensive there. As I said, it was just about this one restaurant. Best wishes Elke and Rainer
@@agffans5725 But again. We found Denmark to be not so expensive compared to Germany. Diesel, shopping in the supermarket and the campsites were all completely fine.

@@doppelzimmerunterwegs339 I suspect that the beers were around as expensive as the pizzas ?
@@agffans5725 Almost 😂
