Villas in Harboøre

About Harboøre

Harboøre is a village of about thirteen hundred people at the southern end of Harboøre Tange, the narrow strip of land between the North Sea and Nissum Bredning. The homes lie a few kilometres either side of the village, spread along that strip rather than bunched together. Most sleep about six with three bedrooms; around half have a sauna, nearly all a fireplace, and a pool is unusual. Bigger parties are well served too, with a fair share sleeping eight or more. Thyborøn to the north, a fishing harbour since 1914, has the aquarium, the museums and the surf school. Evenings in Harboøre are quiet, and off season the Tange is empty and open to the weather.

Getting to Harboøre

Karup is the nearest airport, about 41 miles away, while Billund, Denmark's second largest airport, is about 71 miles off and has more flights. Harboøre has its own station on the Lemvig railway line, but a car is the realistic way to reach the beaches, shops and Thyborøn.

When to go to Harboøre

The Tange sits between the North Sea and the fjord, so expect wind and open sky whenever you come. Summer brings the most visitors to the coast. Outside summer the area is very quiet, which suits walks, a fire and a sauna, but attractions may keep shorter hours, so check before driving to Thyborøn or Bovbjerg.
