Sightseeing
Great beach -- just continue down the road on Ellinge Skovvej -- there's a wetlands area with cattle and once it is crossed, you have a great view of the ocean! Closer and more roomy as compared to Gudmindrup (600 meter up north from here).

On sunny day, you can enjoy a beer and watch life at the harbor while your kids are at the nearby and small playground or have gone for crab fishing. Food is good but a bit pricey (they have adopted McDonald's service concept). Always lively and you're certain to spot expensive cars in the parking area

Theme park and my daughters, aged 3 and 8, loved the children's roller coaster and, especially, the water section, called Blue Lagoon (bring swim suit and a 10-kroner coin for a valuables box in the men's/women's). Our favorite is the Wild River and Mega Wild River -- and the Kamikaze is for the bravest only. The park features lots of activities, including a boat ride in the Amazonas and go-carts (my 11-year-old nephew's favorite). We brought our own drinks and food for the barbecue (also free of charge) and rented a cart for transporting stuff. Entrance is app kr. 250 per person
