Henne Strand

Situated on the west coast of Denmark’s Jutland peninsula is the infeasibly long sandy beach of Henne Strand.

Despite being one of the most popular beaches on this stretch of North Sea coast it never gets crowded here. In fact, outside of sunny days in the summer holidays it is generally quiet allowing you to appreciate the vast open space here.

The beach is backed by an extensive network of sand dunes. These are dotted with wooden cabins and beach houses, however most of these are set a good distance back from the beach so it maintains a feeling of wilderness.

As a popular resort beach there are plenty of facilities at Henne Strand and this is reflected in the beach’s Blue Flag status.This includes a summer lifeguard service, which is important here as there can be strong rip currents and surf here.
