Blokhus Beach
Blokhus Strand
The closest North Sea beach resort to Aalborg on the west. Cars can drive onto the wide sand, and in summer the sandcastle festival and nearby theme park make it good for families.
Blokhus is the closest North Sea seaside resort town to Aalborg. Its wide, flat beach is one of the few in Denmark where cars are allowed to drive slowly onto the sand, and white beach huts line the shore just as they do elsewhere. In summer, the town square is lively, with seafood eateries and ice cream shops, and large sandcastle exhibitions are held nearby each year. Fårup Sommerland is just a few kilometers south, making it a convenient stop for families. The town is about 40 kilometers from Aalborg, roughly 35 minutes by car. North Sea waves are strong and the water is cold, so pay attention to the lifeguard flags when swimming. When driving onto the sand, do not stop in the soft sand areas.
