Øster Hurup is offering lots of nature experiences, fresh air and last but not least amazing summer houses, which can create a comfortable environment for your holiday.
Øster Hurup is also offering a lovely white bathing beach, which is very children-friendly as there is a low water level a long way out. The beach is also obvious to use for kayaking, Stand Up Paddling, yachting and much more. Like the harbour, it is definitely worth the visit - either for a lunch or just to enjoy the lovely maritime atmosphere.
In the summer months, the town is buzzing with life with activities, music, get-togethers for car enthusiasts and much more. In the winter season, it is quite the opposite… Here, nature is in focus and you will not experience any stress and hurry or mass tourism.
From Øster Hurup there is not far to either Aalborg, Aarhus or anything in between - the entire of Himmerland is close by.
