About

Along the shores of Hvide Sande's North Beach are several giant wind turbines standing at more than 492 feet (150 meters) tall. Self-guided tours are offered along the beach that provides a rare opportunity to touch and marvel at these massive structures. The turbines are installed in the sands of the beach, just beyond the grassy dunes, a close walk from the carpark.
