About Marielyst

Marielyst is a relaxed Danish beach resort near Nykøbing Falster on Falster, with a broad sandy shore that defines its summer identity.

A calm coastal atmosphere, cycle paths and easy walking give Marielyst a laid-back feel, with families among its regular guests. The shore supports swimming and seaside relaxation, while go-karting, paintball, golf and sea fishing add variety; Krokodille Zoo lies near Eskilstrup.

July and August bring the resort’s liveliest beach season. Danish food such as smørrebrød and fiskefrikadeller appears in local dining, and nearby Nykøbing Falster adds cultural outings.
