Spend some quality time in a holiday home in Fano Bad

Beach

Fanø Bad is situated right by the wide, white and sandy beach with dunes and the Blue Flag. By Fanø Bad and towards south you are allowed to drive on the beach. Towards north the beach is reserved for pedestrians and cyclists. Here you will also find the sandy peninsular 'Søren Jessens Sand' with a lovely beach life and a good beach. Everywhere the beach is very suitable for children, as the sandy bottom only slopes slightly into the sea. However, the water gets deeper after every sand bar. The beach is 18 km long and stretches all the way from Fanø Bad to Sønderho. Due to the difference in water level during high and low tide, the possibilities of finding amber on the beach are very good. Furthermore, walks, swimming, surfing, kite flying and buggy driving are very popular activities here.

Nature

The unique nature is characterized by dune landscapes, moor areas with heather, dikes, marsh, fields, dunes, beach, the North Sea and the Jutland Wadden Sea. The nature is unspoiled and the island has a rich wildlife and an abundance of birds. More rare bird species can be seen here and the growing seal population can be observed on the sand banks at the coast. The dune plantation 'Fanø Klitplantage' is situated in the centre of the island, and here you will find 3 marked walking paths and a forest playground with a bbq area.

Right behind the dunes of Fanø Bad the beautiful, 18-hole and more than 100 years old golf course 'Fanø Golf Links' is situated in a scenic and undulating dune and heather landscape. In Fanø Bad you also have the opportunity of playing tennis, squash and minigolf, riding on horses, visiting a water world and engaging yourselves in various beach activities. An extended network of bicycle tracks enable you to drive around the island on two-way tracks. In the large dune plantations you will find a number of marked walking and bridle paths of varying lengths. By the Put & Take fishpond in Rindby anglers can haul trouts.
