The Sejerø Bay ( Danish : Sejerø Bugt ) is a bay belonging to the Kattegat in the north-west of the Odsherred peninsula on the Danish island of Zealand .
The northern shore of the bay is formed by the Sjællands Odde peninsula . The direct distance between the northern and southern points of the bay is about 15 kilometers, with the bay extending about 12 kilometers inland. To the west of the bay is the island of Sejerø , from which the name of the bay is derived.
In the southern part of the bay are the settlements Ordrup Strand , Skamlebæk Strand , Veddinge Strand and Høve Strand , in the northern part Lumsås , Overby and the ferry port Odden .
