Bring Your Dog on Vacation!

For many families, a vacation without their best four-legged friend isn't a real vacation. The long, wide sandy beaches and diverse nature around Vejers are a true playground for dogs. Here, they can enjoy new scents and tastes of the Danish West Coast. A holiday with your dog will also get you out on various excursions, where you might discover new places you wouldn't have otherwise visited. This applies in all kinds of weather, as your dog needs to go out even if it's raining and windy. This can provide your family with many great and varied experiences, capturing the full palette of the West Coast to take home after a wonderful trip to Vejers Strand.

Since a holiday with a dog is delightful for both owner and pet, we have created a comprehensive guide on how to best enjoy your vacation with your dog as a travel companion. There are some rules to follow, and it's always a good idea to check the regulations for dogs in nature in the area you plan to visit.

Dogs on the Beach

A Dog's Life on the Beach

It's a wonderful life for a dog when a vacation means sand under their paws and saltwater in their fur. You can combine a delightful beach holiday with a trip with your dog, as most dogs love playing in the warm sand and discovering treasures along the shoreline. If you dream of such a holiday where children, adults, and dogs can all enjoy together, you can confidently bring everyone to Vejers Strand. Many of our holiday homes welcome dogs.

Activities for You and Your Dog

The fantastic nature in the area offers many beautiful spots that will provide experiences for everyone. If you're looking for an active vacation, you can either take your dog along on a bike ride or let it relax in the cozy holiday home until you return. If you plan on water sports like windsurfing or surfing, your dog can either rest under a beach umbrella or go for a long walk along the beach with a family member who prefers a slower pace. No matter what, you can have a fantastic combined dog and beach holiday at one of Denmark's most beautiful beaches.

Seasonal Leash Rules

In the summer months, from April to September, dogs must be on a leash at the beach. In the winter months, from October to March, you can let your dog run off-leash on the beach, but only if it doesn’t pose a risk to others.

We Love Dogs

In the area around Vejers Strand, you can visit dog-friendly forests. There is a dog forest in Oksbøl and another in Blåvand. In the Nature Agency's dog forests, you can let your dog run freely—provided you have "full control" over your dog. According to the Danish Dog Act, "full control" means the handler can stop the dog if it, for example, attacks other animals and people. This means that the dog must have close contact with the handler and must not disturb other visitors, dogs, or wildlife, for example, by threatening or chasing them. Dogs that do not immediately come when called must therefore be kept on a leash or at the handler's side. The handler is primarily responsible for avoiding conflicts.
