Villas in Saltum

About Saltum

Saltum is a village of under 700 people in Jammerbugt Municipality, so it has little of its own for visitors. The reason to book here is the coast. The beach runs about 19 km from Løkken south to Rødhus, past Blokhus, Grønhøj and Saltum, and the sand is compacted enough to drive on year round. Our houses sit a few kilometres from the village, between it and the sea, and few are more than a short distance apart. Blokhus is the busy end, with a lifeguard and 47 white beach huts in summer and a cannon fired near the beach centre on summer evenings. Most houses here have a fireplace and many a sauna, which is how evenings go. Outside summer the area empties and the amusement park is shut.

Getting to Saltum

Aalborg Airport, in Nørresundby, is the nearest, and Norwegian lists London Gatwick among its destinations, so check it flies on your dates. Otherwise connect through Copenhagen. You need a car here: the houses are a few kilometres from both the village and the beach, and the beach itself can be driven on.

When to go to Saltum

Fårup Sommerland opens roughly April or May to September, plus a spell in mid-October, so July and August are when the park, the lifeguard and the beach huts are all in place, and also when Blokhus is at its busiest. Spring and autumn give quiet sand and no rides. Winter suits a fireplace or sauna week, and the beach stays drivable year round.
