Agger Strand

Agger Strand, located within the Thy National Park, is a natural wonder among Danish beaches. This stretch of the Danish west coast is both wild and beautiful, with seemingly endless stretches of wind-blown soft white sand.

Fishing has a long history in the area, and there is still a small but active fishing community. A number of traditional fisherman's cottages have been preserved in the village, just behind the beach, and are open to visitors.

Grassy dunes dot the landscape nearby, offering a variety of ripe berries for the picking. There are also numerous watering holes where a diverse range of birds congregate. A lovely countryside area with a large deer population is also nearby.

The North Sea coast here is regularly battered by storms and raging seas during the winter months. However, this is a spectacular time of year to visit, and watching the mighty white waves crash against the light beige sand is particularly mesmerizing and majestic. Come early and stay late to watch the tide come in and out, transforming the soft white shoreline.
