Henne Strand is a small North Sea resort in Varde Municipality with a wide sandy beach and dunes up to 25 m high, suiting big groups. Swimming is banned on one marked stretch of beach at Kærgård.
Henne Strand is a resort village on the North Sea coast. Its main street is Strandvejen, and most of its shops and restaurants stay open all year. A wide sandy beach sits below dunes that rise to 25 m. Tennis courts, a swimming hall, minigolf, bike and horse hire and an international 18-hole golf course are in the village, and the original settlement, Henne Kirkeby, is about 4 km away. Many homes here sleep eight or more, the largest up to 14, and nearly all have a fireplace. Most have no pool, and some have a sauna.
Blåvands Huk is the western tip of Denmark, looking over the Horns Rev wind farms, and the Tirpitz Museum is set in a German wartime bunker.

Blåvand has Blåvands Huk, the western tip of Denmark, and the Tirpitz Museum. Henne Strand has its own main street, golf course and shops open most of the year. Both are among Varde's broad white beaches.
It works well for them. Many homes here sleep eight or more, and the largest sleep up to 14, so family gatherings fit. Few homes have a private pool.
