Amtoft: Beach and Harbour

Amtoft is a destination whose beach and harbour offer different starting points for planning your trip. Amtoft Marina (Amtoft Lystbådehavn) is located in the Limfjord between Mors and Thy. Amtoft Beach is at Gårdbæk Hage, immediately south of Amtoft Vig. If you are planning a stay in Amtoft, you can first decide whether the beach, the harbour surroundings or one of the water activities mentioned will be your main focus.

Amtoft Beach: Location and Access

Amtoft is among the beaches with few facilities. The beach is at Gårdbæk Hage, immediately south of Amtoft Vig, and can be reached from Amtoftvej via Livøvej. Livøvej runs through the holiday home area. These specific location and street details can help you find your way to the beach. The classification as a beach with few facilities is also relevant for planning: if you are counting on particular amenities, check for them specifically rather than assuming that the beach has extensive facilities.

Water Shelter and Sauna in the Harbour

There is a water shelter in Amtoft Harbour. The water shelters in Thisted Municipality can be booked by anyone. A booking provides access for 24 hours, and each shelter accommodates four people. The municipal season runs from April to October; these dates may change. Before your trip, check the latest season and booking information, as well as availability, if you are planning to use the shelter. The duration of use, capacity and season give you specific points to consider when deciding whether this option suits your travel plans.

The sauna in the harbour offers unobstructed views across the fjord. As facilities can change, it is advisable to check the latest information before visiting. Amtoft Sailing Club (Amtoft Lystbådelaug) welcomes visiting sailors. The water shelter, sauna and sailing facilities therefore offer different ways to enjoy a stay at the harbour.

Kayaking, Surfing and Routes

You can surf in Amtoft Vig. For a kayaking trip, a description last updated on 8 September 2017 gives a 4 km leg from Amtoft to Søndergårds Mark. It starts at Amtoft Harbour. Before setting out to paddle, check the route information again, particularly the starting point and route.

Another route description concerns the TRIT route: on Day 10, it passes the water shelter in Amtoft Harbour; the leg is 25 km long. TRIT is not official and is not independently signposted. The 4 km refers to the kayaking leg to Søndergårds Mark, while the 25 km refers to the section of the TRIT route mentioned above. When planning, it is therefore important to match the information to the route in question.

More Points of Interest in the Harbour

ThyGourmet runs a food workshop and a restaurant in the harbour. There is also a crab-racing track there. Together with the water shelter, sauna and welcome for visiting sailors, these give a varied picture of the harbour, although they do not all call for the same kind of stay. The beach and harbour offer different points of focus: at the beach, the location by Amtoft Vig and the access described above are key, while the routes and visitor activities mentioned are centred on the harbour.
