Blokhus
Spend a half‑day at Blokhus beach; add a second day only if you want to visit Fårup Sommerland or camp longer.
Blokhus is a small coastal town in North Jutland with a long sandy beach and dunes. Summer brings many visitors, but the town also serves as a base for nearby seaside villages and the Fårup Sommerland amusement park. One full day covers the beach and a quick visit to a nearby attraction; a second day allows a park visit or relaxed camping.
