The provincial town of Skagen and the fishing hamlet of Ålbæk, formed in the 16th century, have been in competition for centuries. From the coast by Ålbæk, there was fishing for oysters, plaice and garfish. In the 20th century, Ålbæk became a railway town with a fishing port. Today, bathing tourism is dominant, and yachtsmen frequent the harbour.

Åså
Aså developed towards the end of the 19th century into a regional centre with shops, an inn and industry. To facilitate communications with the outside world, an island harbour was established 500 m out in Kattegat in 1878, followed by a railway link to Sæby railway line in 1914. Drifting sand south of the island harbour mole created a delightful bathing beach, where bathing huts were set up.
