About Hvide Sande
Hvide Sande is a small town of about 2,800 people in the Holmsland Dunes, built around a canal that links Ringkøbing Fjord to the North Sea. The harbour opened in 1931 and is one of Denmark's five largest fishing ports, now also used for offshore wind work. A smokehouse and fish shop stands near the auction hall. The North Sea beach at Sydstrand is a wide stretch of fine sand with lifeguards in summer, a short walk from town, while the fjord behind it is a shallow lagoon. Our homes are spread over some 20 km of dune, and the middle of them lies to the south, nearer Nymindegab than the harbour. German, Danish, Scandinavian and Dutch visitors come for the town and the dunes.

Is Hvide Sande good for families?
Yes, because there is both sea and calm water. Sydstrand has fine sand, lifeguards in summer, toilets and an outdoor shower, and the fjord behind is a shallow lagoon only 2 to 3 metres deep. The homes are spread out, so beaches usually mean a short drive.
Is Hvide Sande worth visiting for the harbour?
Yes, if you like working ports. It is one of Denmark's five largest fishing harbours, with a smokehouse and fish shop beside the auction hall selling fresh and smoked fish. It is a commercial harbour, not a quaint one.
Hvide Sande or Søndervig?
Hvide Sande is a working fishing town of about 2,800 people, while Søndervig, further north on the coast, is described as a beach town and tourist destination. Choose the harbour for fish and a town around it, Søndervig for a resort with a wide sandy beach and a pedestrian street of shops and cafés.
Which airport for Hvide Sande?
Billund. British Airways flies there from Heathrow and Norwegian from Gatwick. From the airport a hire car is the simplest way on, since the homes are strung along many kilometres of dune.
Can you do water sports at Hvide Sande?
Yes. Sydstrand's reliable wind makes it a favourite with surfers, and boardsports are among the activities visitors come for. The fjord behind is a shallow lagoon about 2 to 3 metres deep, so check conditions and local advice first.
