Here, the ocean is hidden behind the large dunes where you can find shelter in one of the hollows. A part of the beach is for nudists while the other part is for everyone else. The access to the beach is covered by wood chips, making it easier for families with children or walking-impaired to cross the dunes. You are not allowed to drive on the beach but there is free parking close to the beach. Do remember to enjoy your walk to the beach which gives you a beautiful sight of the open spaces and good sandy beach.

The south western coast is a summer paradise. Nothing compares to the wide and sandy beaches, high dunes and cosy hollows where you can settle down and enjoy your privacy.

For many tourists, the visit to the south western coast means love at first sight. This place offers everything: Long walks under the blue sky, the clouds with their strange forms changing all the time while you are comfortably lying on the beach listening to the sound of the waves, perfect wide beaches where to fly a kite and the sea and the Ringkøbing Fiord - the windsurfers’ paradise. If you prefer to remain at the edge of the water, you can collect amber and shells. Each and everyone can feel free and at ease. Outside the summer season, when the wind blows heavily, there is a really special atmosphere at the west coast. Feel the wind in your hair and return to your cosy house for a nice cup of coffee in front of the fireplace.
