Skagen, a fishing port in the north of Jutland, Denmark, (pronounced Skay'en) was a magnet for Danish painters from the 1870s onwards, attracted by the landscapes and the light. You can read up on the Skagen Art Colony online.

If you can access Channel 4's streaming service (free in the UK, you may need a VPN outside), there's a charming Danish drama series set close to Skagen in the late 1920s called Seaside Hotel which will give you a feel for the area. Much better than going to the Med.
