Local tips

  • GPS navigation may direct you incorrectly to the beach activity camp. Instead, drive or cycle down to the beach at Rindby Strand and head south along the sand for approximately 1.5 kilometers to reach the main activity hub.
  • Book activities in advance, especially during peak summer months (May to October), as popular experiences like seal safaris and equipment rentals can fill quickly.
  • Wear appropriate weather protection including wind-resistant clothing and sunscreen. Fanø's exposed coastal location means conditions can change rapidly, and UV reflection from sand and water intensifies sun exposure.
  • Visit the retail shops in Nordby, Rindby Strand, or Fanø Bad to rent bicycles for exploring the island, purchase local products, and get personalized activity recommendations from staff with deep local knowledge.
  • Check wind and weather conditions before water activities. The western beaches are best for SUP when winds have subsided; offshore winds are dangerous for beginners and inexperienced paddlers.

Cycle south from Nordby toward Rindby Strand, then continue to the beach access point. From there, cycle down onto the beach and head south along the sand for approximately 1.5 kilometers to reach the main activity camp. Total journey time from Nordby is 30-45 minutes depending on fitness and exact starting point. This is the most scenic and practical option for island exploration.

A Gateway to Fanø's Coastal Adventures

Club Fanø operates as a family-owned enterprise dedicated to showcasing the best of Denmark's Fanø island through hands-on experiences and guided activities. Founded in 2016, the company has grown from offering seal safaris and children's activities to operating more than 10 different experiences across multiple locations. The team of eight local employees brings deep knowledge of the island's geography, wildlife, and seasonal conditions, ensuring visitors access authentic and well-organized adventures suited to their interests and skill levels. The company maintains three retail locations: beach shops in Rindby Strand and Fanø Bad where visitors can rent bicycles and purchase beach equipment, and a shop in Nordby specializing in locally-made jewelry and cork products. This distributed presence allows travelers to access information, book activities, and obtain equipment from convenient points across the island.

Beach Sports and Water Activities

Club Fanø's primary activity hub sits approximately 1.5 kilometers south of Rindby Strand beach access, directly on the sand where the North Sea meets the island's famous western shore. Here, visitors can experience blokart (land sailing), skimboarding, and kite landboarding—sports that take advantage of Fanø's consistent coastal winds and open beach terrain. The location is accessible by car or bicycle, though visitors should note that standard GPS navigation may direct them incorrectly; the correct approach involves driving or cycling down to the beach itself and heading south along the sand. Stand-up paddling (SUP) represents another major offering, with instruction available for beginners and experienced paddlers alike. The western beaches from Fanø Bad to the sailing areas provide ideal conditions for SUP, featuring shallow waters, reasonable currents, and calm conditions when winds subside. These same waters are unsuitable for windsurfing but excellent for kitesurfing and paddling exploration.

Wildlife Encounters and Seasonal Experiences

Seal safaris form a signature experience, with guided excursions to the seal banks off Fanø's coast. These trips combine wildlife observation with storytelling about the island's maritime heritage and the seal population that inhabits the Wadden Sea. Beyond water-based activities, Club Fanø offers seasonal workshops including candle making and kite building, introducing visitors to traditional crafts while celebrating the island's cultural identity as a world-famous kite-flying destination.

Local Expertise and Service Philosophy

The company's commitment to visitor experience extends beyond activity provision. Staff members are trained to help guests select appropriate activities based on skill level, interests, and physical ability. Equipment rental includes bicycles for island exploration and specialized gear for water sports. Pre-booking is available through multiple channels: direct phone contact, email communication, or in-person visits to any of the three retail locations. The team emphasizes accessibility and inclusivity, welcoming families, solo travelers, couples, and groups of varying ages and experience levels.
