Blåvand is a village situated at the base of a small headland being the westernmost point of Denmark. In its vicinity there are sandy beaches and a lot of post-German fortifications from the Second World War.
The settlement itself is small and consists mainly of low brick houses. There are shops, service points and restaurants on the main street. There are also guesthouses and several campsites. Tourists mainly come here to relax on the wide, sandy beaches, such as Blåvand Beach and Hvidbjerg Beach. They are famous for their calm water and large shallows by the shore, which makes them a perfect place for a family holiday with children.
At the tip of the cape is Denmark's westernmost point and the Blåvandshuk Lighthouse. The attractions of the area are the remains of German fortifications, including Bunkers Mules, Bunker Tirpiz 2 and the largest of the local bunkers converted into the Tirpiz Museum.
