Welcome to Hvide Sande

With its fantastic location in the middle of the seaweed between the North Sea and Ringkøbing Fjord, Hvide Sande is an obvious excursion and vacation destination.

Hvide Sande has a disproportionately rich commercial life, and around the harbor you’ll find a myriad of eateries, specialty shops, and exciting things to see.

The beaches at Hvide Sande are second to none and worth visiting all year round. No matter where you are in the city, you’ll feel the closeness of the sea and the city is a known and loved hotspot for anglers and water sports enthusiasts alike
