Vedersø Klit is regarded as one of the most beautiful holiday destinations on the west coast.

Vedersø Klit is situated between the inlets Nissum Fjord and Ringkøbing Fjord. In this cosy and scenic holiday area you will find beautiful nature, lovely bathing beaches, cultural sights as well as good shopping possibilities and leisure activities. The area has been used as a holiday house area since the 30'ies, and it was decided already then that only brick-built houses with thatched roofs could be erected in the area. The area is very characteristic because of the style of the houses.
