The beaches of Henne Strand are famous for the white sand and long dunes along the beach. Henne is a popular Danish tourist town on the west coast of Jutland. Over the years, the town Henne and the Henne Strand beaches have become a favorite for family vacations.

While beaches in Denmark are clothing-optional, the two only exceptions are the Henne Strand beaches and the beach of Holmsland Klit. Henne Strand beach requires clothing, and the wide beach area provides nice waves from the North Sea. As a matter of fact, "Strand" is the Danish word for beach!

Lots of activities in Henne Strand are offered to all ages. There's an indoor water park, kitesurfing and games on the beaches, restaurants and lots of local arts to look at.

A good choice of accommodation for Henne Strand visitors is found among hotels in Varde 20 km (12 mi) away, where you'll also find Varde's Minibyen attraction.

Henne is located 40 km north of Esbjerg, Denmark. To get to Henne / Henne Strand from almost any point in Denmark, simply drive toward the west coast of Jutland, and Road 181 will then lead you to Nymindegab/Henne Strand. Follow the signs there to Henne Strand.
