Vorupør
Waves on both sides of the jetty in a village where fishing boats are hauled onto the beach.
Vorupør is a Thy village where fishing boats are still pulled up onto the beach. Waves break on each side of the jetty: on its left side, a right that sometimes barrels; on its right side, a powerful, more sheltered left.
It's usually less crowded than Klitmøller.
