Ballen Havn
Ballen Havn sits on Samsø island in the Kattegat and is the largest marina on the island, making it the natural hub for exploring this car-free, renewable-energy paradise. You'll find a well-maintained setup with decent depth (3.5 m) and pay for your stay via the machine by the toilet block — around DKK 180 a night. Facilities are on the modest side, with just a couple of toilets and one shower, but the island itself more than compensates with cycling routes, local farm shops, and a genuinely unhurried pace.
