Local tips
- Check the local weather forecast before you visit and ask staff for guidance; they are used to recommending layers and waterproofs that match the day’s wind, rain and temperature.
- If you are travelling with children, head straight to the kids’ section for full waterproof sets and warm base layers that work well for long sessions in sand and shallow water.
- Visit outside the midday window in high summer to avoid busier periods and give yourself time to try on jackets and footwear without feeling rushed.
- Bring or wear the socks you normally use for walking or hiking when trying on boots to ensure a realistic fit for beach paths and forest trails.

Sea breeze, sand dunes and a practical coastal hub
WestWind Henne Strand sits a short stroll from the dunes, in the small resort town that spreads out behind the wide North Sea beach. This is not just another clothing shop on a high street; it feels rooted in the rhythms of the coast. The big glass frontage and simple signage draw you into a bright, orderly space where racks of jackets and trousers form colourful lines against the often grey sky outside. As you step in from the wind, you swap the roar of the surf for the soft hum of hangers sliding and zippers clicking. The atmosphere is relaxed and unfussy, with plenty of space to move between displays and to park a stroller while you browse. It functions as a kind of outfitting station for life on this stretch of the West Jutland coast, where sunshine, squalls and sea fog often share the same day.Clothing and gear for a life lived outdoors
The heart of WestWind Henne Strand is its focus on clothing, shoes and equipment that work in real weather. You will see shell jackets and softshells rated for wind and rain, lined trousers for cooler days on the beach, and breathable tops designed for active use. Many items come from well-known Scandinavian and European outdoor brands, with an emphasis on durability and practical details like taped seams, adjustable hoods and reflective accents. Footwear occupies a generous section, from sturdy hiking boots for forest trails in Blåbjerg Plantation to sandals and sneakers for town and campsite. Accessories round out the selection: beanies and gloves for blustery evenings, caps and sunglasses for clear summer days, plus daypacks and small bags that cope well with sand and salt air. For families, the children’s section is a highlight, with waterproof sets and warm layers sized for toddlers through to teenagers.Ready for wind, waves and spontaneous adventures
Beyond everyday outdoor wear, the shop caters to the active beach culture that defines Henne Strand. This is an area known for strong winds and rolling waves, and WestWind leans into that reputation. Depending on the season, you may find neoprene accessories, quick-dry towels, windbreakers and robust ponchos that make lingering on the shore more comfortable. Many items are chosen with flexibility in mind: a light packable jacket that works equally well for cycling to a bakery, flying a kite on the sand or watching a sunset from the dunes; mid-layers that double as cosy loungewear back at a holiday home. Staff are used to holidaymakers dropping in with very specific questions – from what to wear for a stormy November walk to how warmly to dress kids for hours of sandcastle building in April.A useful stop in the rhythm of a beach holiday
For many visitors, WestWind becomes part of the simple routine of a North Sea stay: bakery, beach, and a browse for an extra layer when the forecast shifts. The opening hours, which typically cover every day of the week, make it easy to fit in a visit between a morning swim and an afternoon drive through the dunes. The location on Hjelmevej makes it convenient whether you are based in Henne Strand itself or coming from nearby villages like Henne Kirkeby. It works as a back-up wardrobe for forgetful packers, but also as a place to upgrade gear once you realise how quickly the coastal wind can cut through less technical clothing. Even on calmer days, it is a pleasant indoor pause where you can warm up, consider tomorrow’s weather and plan the next outing.Part of a wider coastal shopping scene
WestWind Henne Strand is also woven into a small but lively cluster of shops that make this resort more than just a row of holiday homes. Nearby, you will find other clothing boutiques, ceramic studios and beach-focused stores, creating a compact area that rewards an unhurried stroll. Against this backdrop, WestWind stands out for its clear focus on function-first style and outdoor life. Inside, the aesthetic leans towards modern, practical Scandinavian design rather than fashion-forward displays. Simple shelving, neutral tones and bright lighting keep attention on the garments and gear themselves. It is the kind of place where you can solve a practical problem – staying warm, staying dry, staying comfortable – and walk back out towards the dunes ready to enjoy whatever the North Sea decides to deliver next.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
