Hvide Sande Beach
The Hvide Sande beach on the Danish west coast runs parallel to the Ringkobing Fjord. On one side you have the smooth water of the fjord and on the other the North Sea. Here you are on one of the top beaches in Denmark, where you can enjoy the beach life to the fullest. Some guests lie relaxed in the sand, others refresh themselves in the water, play beach volleyball or collect shells with the children. A water sports facility provides the necessary equipment for almost all popular sports by the sea.
Our tip: The beach is wheelchair accessible and offers several access points for wheelchairs and pushchairs.
Sondervig Beach
Sondervig beach, on the west coast of Denmark, is just a 3-minute walk from the centre. Here you can enjoy a fantastic view of the North Sea and the seemingly endless white sandy beach at any time of the year. Along the beach there are many exposed bunkers from the Second World War. Some are very well preserved and walkable. The beach is suitable for swimming as well as for water sports but especially after a storm you can collect excellent shells, adder stone and even amber.
Our tip: Enjoy the beach and the sea on horseback from the Sondervig Ranch.
Skagen beach
In the far north of Denmark lies the wide beach of Skagen. It is probably one of the most spectacular beaches ever. Nature lovers will find tremendous shifting dunes and sand as far as the eye can see. The car-free area, Sonderstrand, is ideal for families with small children. Vippefyret is also here, the landmark of Skagen, a reconstruction of the first beacon with an open basket. A walk to the northern tip of Grenen offers you the opportunity to stand with one leg in the North Sea and the other in the Baltic Sea. Enjoy the sight of waves coming from both seas.
Our tip: If you are not so good on foot, you can use the Sandormen (transportation) to get to the top.
Kerteminde North Beach
One of the best beaches in Denmark is the Kerteminde north beach on Funen. Many visitors come here because of the very good water quality and the convenient location on the Great Belt.
