Tversted - The Pearl on The Danish Coast

When I was a little girl, my parents often took my brothers and I to the beach for evening strolls. I have carried on this tradition, and in South Florida my husband and I often take our sons for an evening stroll down the Hollywood beach promenade. A week ago I took my two sons Roshane (4 1/2) and Skyler Kai (15 months) for their first trip this year to Tversted Strand (Tversted Beach) in Northern Jutland, Denmark, the very beach that my parents took my brothers and I to, when we were younger.

We are visiting my parents, who live on a farm outside the small town of Sindal about 15 minutes by car from Tversted Strand, just in between the two oceans Kattegat and Skagerak.

Tversted has one of the most beautiful wide sand beaches in Denmark, and in the summertime the small beach town is booming with tourist mostly from Germany, Sweden and Norway. The beaches are very wide, and cars are allowed down on the long stretches of beach.

The Beach in Tversted has been awarded the Blue Flag, an internationally recognized brand that is given to beaches, which meet strict environmental and safety requirements.

I just let the kids out of the car. Roshane is running towards the water all excited, and I think he forgot that the Danish water is quite chilli, especially compared to the warm South Florida water that he has gotten used to.

My youngest son Skyler Kai, has stopped to find a sea shell, but he was also very excited about being let loose in the white sand.

Skyler Kai is enjoying his freedom, and he is loving the beach despite a little bit of chilli wind.

 The Beauty of Brotherhood

My sons were so excited about being at the beach again, and Roshane gave his younger brother a huge hug and told him "I Love You, SkyKai!"

Skyler Kai, who is used to all the hugging and kissing from his brother, looks like he is saying "enough already", but he is just as loving as his brother... usually just when his brother is not. 

Walking at sunset...

As the sun is going down, and the chill of the night is setting in, we hurry up to the very popular ice cream houses in Tversted. These are famous for their incredible ice cream cones with lots of ice cream.

The Blue Ice Cream House in Tversted, is the one the farthest away from the beach, but we often chose to get our ice cream here, as they have the best selection, and there are convenient parking spaces as well.

My sons get their first Tversted Ice Cream Cone of the season, but I have the feeling that it will not be their last.

Last summer Skyler Kai was too young for ice cream, but this year he manages very well despite the fact that it is way past his bedtime.

The sun is beginning to disappear behind the dunes, and the darkness is closing in on us, as you can see on the photograph of this beautiful beach house.

This house is the one that is nearest the beach, and it is sitting there in solitude, since the dunes are preserved by the Danish government.

It is now time to return to the farm.
