Villas in Blokhus

About Blokhus

Blokhus is a small seaside village in Jammerbugt Municipality, and its name explains its past: in the early 1600s there were few trees here, so locals built houses from timber shipped over from Norway. Our homes are in and just around the village, so the beach is never far. It is white sand, around 100 metres wide, running from Rødhus in the south to Saltum in the north, and cars are allowed on it. In summer 47 white beach huts go up, lifeguards are on duty, the local cannon guild fires its cannon by the beach centre every night, and concerts play on the outdoor stage on the town square. Behind the village, Blokhus Klitplantage is a big dune plantation with trails and a mountain bike track. Outside the summer season the lifeguards and huts are gone and the sand is left to walkers and the wind.
