Stroll along miles of pristine beaches, enjoy the fresh salt air on board the topsail schooner Maja or just kick back and relax at family-friendly Sondervig Bay.

You're never far from the water during your holiday in Hvide Sande since the town is located on a narrow peninsula sandwiched between the Ringkobing Fjord on one side and the North Sea on the other. It's no wonder that Hvide Sande Harbour is not only a bustling hub of activity but also a characteristic landmark in this enchanting fishing village! The salt air is always alight with the sounds of fishing boat motors and lively bartering from the daily fish auctions that are open to the public. The bountiful catch attracts buyers from all over Europe and gives the town the authentic atmosphere of a bustling port village. While you're down by the water, don't forget to drop in at the Mylius-Erichsens Microbrewery for one of their famous beer tastings (held once a week), before exploring the village's unique landscape, which was shaped by the construction of a lock system between the North Sea and Ringkobing Fjord back in 1931.

If you'd like to experience invigorating salt sea air and the power of nature up close and personal during your weekend getaway to Hvide Sande, you won't want to miss the mile-long stretches of sandy beach that dot the North Sea shore. Or if you'd rather get out and tame the waves instead of just enjoying the view, Westwind offers classes and equipment rental for kite- and windsurfing along the protected waters of the fjord. You can also conquer the waves in a larger vessel, with an authentic maritime experience on the topsail schooner Maja af Hvide Sande, which offers daily tours departing from Hvide Sande Harbour. The sailboat is the only one of its kind in Denmark, making it a treasured experience for anyone with salt water coursing through their veins.

Or if your crew prefers solid ground beneath their feet, there are plenty of activities for landlubbers in Hvide Sande and the charming, lively Sondervig Bay. Sondervig Bay is located just a few miles north of Hvide Sande, and features a variety of quaint shops offering locally-made artwork and handicrafts. It's a great place to lay out the beach towels, pitch an umbrella and set up camp for the day, as Sondervig Strand was crowned Denmark's best beach in 2014. It's also the starting point for fun expeditions where adults and children of all ages can hunt for precious fossilised amber.

When visiting Hvide Sande and its surrounding area, you're whole family will treasure the special first-hand encounter with nature and the authentic culture and Danish hygge of West Jutland.
