context_page_description: Glatved Beach is a coastline 10 km south of the town Grenaa in Denmark. The 5 km long beach is part of a stony coastline with fairly deep water close to the shore, spanning the 50 km long eastern shore of the peninsula, Djursland, and situated by the Kattegat sea. This stony coast starts at The Cliffs of Gjerrild to the north on Djursland, and ends 50 km to the south on Mols at the southern tip of the peninsula.
context_section_description: Glatved Beach is an angling and scuba diving area. It gets deep fast enough, for fishing close to the shore. Facing the sea of Kattegat, the coast has some current and good water exchange enabling oxygen-rich conditions. The tidal difference is moderate in the scale of 15 – 30 cm. The bottom is mostly stony, as a habitat for marine life and a hold for seaweed, promoting fish life. There are spots with sand in between, giving living conditions for flatfish. Flounder and dab are common flatfish at Glatved Beach. Until the seventies, there was an abundance of cod, but today (2014) cod has become a rare species from all the shores of Djursland. A marked and abrupt change in fish zoology. Garfish, sea trout and mackerel are more abundant now than previously.
caption: Glatved Beach is a good spot for catching garfish, as they migrate through Kattegat from The North Sea to the Baltic Sea in late spring to spawn, and back again in autumn.
