Fyr (the White Lighthouse), left, which was the first stone lighthouse in Skagen, built in the 18th century. Den Grå Fyr (The Grey Lighthouse) is a little farther up the road toward Grenen and the newest edition to the family is Skagen West, the remote-controlled lighthouse from 1956 near the outermost point of Grenen – where a lighthouse should be. The reason those other lighthouses were erected at their respective places is because the coastline has been extended farther and farther north each passing year due to the effects of wind and sand. In other words, each lighthouse was at the tip of the peninsula when it was built. The best view is from the Grey Lighthouse, the highest lighthouse in Denmark, where you can climb up in the tower and see the whole Grenen area where the seas meet to the north.
