Henne Strand, Holiday home area in Varde Municipality, Denmark.
Henne Strand is a holiday home area on the North Sea coast in Varde Municipality with a wide sandy beach backed by dunes and heath. The resort offers various types of accommodations from camping to upscale lodges, plus indoor pools, spa facilities, and several restaurants.
The area developed as a vacation destination in the early 20th century when Danish families began building summer houses along the coast. This was part of a larger movement that shaped mass tourism and organized seaside holidays on Denmark's west coast.
The place embodies the Danish tradition of spending summers by the sea, where visitors can experience local craft markets and seasonal gatherings. These events display regional products and customs that define life on the North Sea coast.
The beach and surrounding paths are accessible year-round, with summer months offering the best conditions for outdoor activities. The range of accommodation types allows visitors to choose according to preference and budget, from basic to comfortable options.
Some accommodations are designed as Lark Nests, special buildings that blend into the natural surroundings. These architectural elements preserve the connection to the landscape and prevent the development from disrupting the dune system.
