Spend your vacation in tranquil surroundings in the middle of the magnificent nature by the North Sea.
 Nr. Lyngby is a small and peaceful town, which is located in a serene and scenic area - right between the 2 holiday resorts Løkken and Lønstrup. The characteristic features of the town are the steep slopes by the sea, which are between 30 and 40 metres high. Each year 3-4 metres of the high hillsides disappear into the sea, and throughout the years, more holiday homes have fallen into the sea as well.
As the steep slopes diminish, bunkers from World War II emerge. Because of the high cliffs Nr. Lyngby is a popular spot for paragliders.
This area has it all: the rough North Sea, gentle nature as well as peace and quiet, but at the same time larger holiday resorts, leisure activities, amusements and sights for the whole family are located nearby.
Beach
Cliffs and steep slopes surround the lovely North Sea beach of Nr. Lyngby. The 9 km long beach is a fine and sandy beach, which has been awarded with the Blue Flag. Here you can swim, sunbathe, walk and engage yourselves in beach and watersport activities.
Motoring is allowed on the beach.
You can admire the sunset over the sea from the beach, the dunes or the mole.
Nature
 The steep slopes by the shore of Nr. Lyngby are a magnificent sight, and the bunkers from World War II, which become more and more visible, contribute to the unique spectacle.
The area, surrounding Nr. Lyngby, is very scenic and consists of dunes, forest, moor areas, fields and meadows.
Along the shore towards north you can experience the severe impact of the sand drift on the landscape, f.x. by the 90-metres high hill island Rubjerg Knude, where the impressive sand dune in front the lighthouse now exceeds the height of the lighthouse. Furthermore, the opportunities for spotting birds of prey are good here.
Activities
Nr. Lyngby is famous for its 30-40 metres high cliffs, which provide paragliders and hang-glider with ideal opportunities. The North Sea below the cliffs is extremely suitable for swimming, surfing and other kinds of watersport activities.
The scenic area invites walks or rides in the country or on the beach. Riding horses are rentable in the area.
A number of golf courses are available near, and the nearest one is located in Løkken, where you will find a beautiful 18-hole course as well as a 9-hole Pay & Play course, which is open year round.
Anglers can throw in their lines in the North Sea as well as in the Put & Take fishponds of the area.
