Discover Hvalpsund: Beach, Harbour and Nature Trails

Hvalpsund is located on the Louns Peninsula and is therefore almost surrounded by water. The town has a wide sandy beach, a harbour and a ferry connection across the Limfjord. There is also a protected natural landscape nearby. If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in Hvalpsund, these different aspects of the town can help you choose your destination: the beach and surfing, nature trails, fishing lakes or a ferry connection each offer a different focus.

Beach and water sports

Hvalpsund Beach is a wide sandy beach with a diving platform. There are also three surfing spots. This means the beach and surfing offer two specific options to shape your stay. If you are considering Hvalpsund for a hotel stay, you can decide whether the beach itself or the surfing spots are the main reason for your trip. Both are located at Hvalpsund Beach.

Practical information for the beach

There are parking spaces and toilets near the beach, including one with a shower cubicle. If these facilities are important for your plans, check their current availability before travelling. This will help you keep the specific conditions at the beach in mind as you compare destinations.

Harbour, anchor and rental options

The anchor in Hvalpsund harbour was salvaged from a fishing boat in 1980 and is now a symbol of the area’s maritime history. Another side of the harbour can be seen at the information hut: it is a tourist information centre at Hvalpsund ferry harbour. Bicycles, stand-up paddleboards and kayaks can be rented there. These categories offer different possibilities for planning: bicycles are an option on land, while stand-up paddleboards and kayaks are for activities on the water. Before travelling, check the tourist information centre’s current status and the availability of rental options.

Trails on the Louns Peninsula

The 420-hectare protected natural landscape of the Louns Peninsula lies near Hvalpsund. There are 20 kilometres of marked trails along the coastal slopes and through ravines with oak scrub. The landscape features and stated trail length give this natural area a different focus from the beach: here, the emphasis is on trails through a protected landscape.

The Hvalpsund Route has a paved path for pedestrians and cyclists, as well as a gravel path for horse riders. The distinction between surface and user group is a specific planning detail: the paved path is designated for pedestrians and cyclists, and the gravel path for horse riders. These features make it possible to distinguish the Hvalpsund Route from the trails in the natural landscape on Louns.

Fishing lakes and ferry connection

Hvalpsund Put & Take has two fishing lakes with areas of 8,600 m² and 4,600 m². The larger lake is therefore 4,000 m² bigger than the smaller one. Fishing adds a distinct focus to your travel plans alongside the beach and harbour.

The Mary car ferry connects Hvalpsund across the Limfjord with Sundsøre, which is on Salling. If you plan to include the crossing in your journey, check the ferry’s schedule before travelling. This gives you several different aspects of Hvalpsund to consider: the beach and its surfing spots, the trails and their respective features, the fishing lakes and the connection across the Limfjord.
