Vorupør

Mette Johnsen

This unique seaside fishing village, located in Thy, is rich in historical buildings and has a vibrant urban life. You can enjoy the sea and beach – all in one place. The close proximity to both National Park Thy and the North sea provides plenty of opportunities for an active holiday with your friends or family. The newly established boardwalks and the large beach terrace facilitate easy accessibility and rich opportunity for enjoying both the sea and beach.

Coastal fishing from the beach is in the DNA of Vorupør. Today, it is still possible to experience coastal fishing, and fish are landed on the beach daily.

The major influence of the fishing industry is visible throughout the village – thus, the small fishermen's cottages by the beach, the lighthouse in the dunes, and the historical boat on the beach will tell every visitor about the history of inshore fishing in Vorupør.
