Skagen Odde

Skagen Odde, also Skagens Odde, sometimes known in English as the Scaw Spit or The Skaw,^[1] is a sandy peninsula which stretches some 30 km (19 mi) northeast and comprises the northernmost area of Vendsyssel in Jutland, Denmark.^[2][3][4]

Skagen Odde is reported to be one of the largest spit systems in Europe, created by a continuous process of marine sand and gravel deposition, moved in a north-east direction by longshore currents. The width of the spit varies from 3 to 7 km (2 to 4 mi).^[5][6][7][8]

Contrary to common belief, the northmost point of Jutland and Denmark proper is located on the spit's northern beach (Nordstrand) and not on the sandbar of Grenen at the tip of the spit.^{[citation needed]}
