Houstrup Beach

Official beach for naturists

Five kilometers from Nørre Nebel, Denmark, you will find this beautiful sandy beach with tall dunes that give you shelter from the wind. The beach is divided into two parts, at one of the parts, being nude is allowed. The beach is often used by guests from the naturist camp site, Lyngboparken in Henne. According to the Danish Outdoor Council, the water at this beach is safe and high quality.

Houstrup Beach is known for its wide sandy beach, high dunes and its close connection to the surrounding forests and heathland. There is plenty of space to find a peaceful spot among the dunes or on the beach, making it particularly appealing to visitors seeking tranquillity, relaxation and authentic West Jutland nature.

Bathing Point Award

Houstrup Beach has received the Bathing Point Award, recognising its excellent bathing conditions, high water quality and strong focus on safety. The award makes it easy to choose a beach where quality and safety are prioritised, allowing visitors to enjoy a relaxing day on Denmark's North Sea coast in beautiful natural surroundings. The beach offers facilities including toilets and lifesaving equipment.

Access to the beach is not suitable for people with reduced mobility.

Arrival, parking and facilities
The beach can be reached via Houstrup Strandvej, where parking and toilet facilities are available. Access to the beach is via designated footpaths.

Information
Information about bathing water quality, water safety and the Bathing Point Award is available at the car park. Houstrup Beach is a typical North Sea beach, where strong waves, powerful surf and offshore sandbars can create deep channels in the water.

For visitors
Houstrup Beach is divided into two sections. One is used by general beachgoers, while a section approximately 500 metres further south is commonly used for naturist bathing, particularly by guests staying at the nearby naturist campsite.

Houstrup Beach is located on Denmark's North Sea coast approximately 6.5 kilometres south-west of Nørre Nebel. Around four kilometres from the beach, you will find a large holiday home area as well as Houstrup Camping.

Nature and surroundings
Behind the dunes lies a large protected natural area with heather-covered heathland, the Blue Lakes (De Blå Søer) and impressive dune landscapes. The car park at Houstrup Beach is an excellent starting point for walks south towards the Blue Lakes and Lyngbos Heath, or north along the remains of Ringkøbing Fjord at Nymindestrømmen.
