Directly behind the dunes is a large sports field where you can play beach volleyball. Since 1987, the Jutland Beach Badminton Championship, a very popular event in Denmark, has been held here as part of a major cultural and sports festival held around the summer solstice. The championship takes place in any wind speed, which gives it its special appeal. The winner of 2025, in a thrilling match in force 5 winds, was the famous and popular Olympic star Ele, who trains here at the Sonnercamp. Regarding the outcome of the game, which depends on the wind speed and gustiness, he is quoted as saying, "You don't need luck, just control."

An exceptionally well-designed, spacious forest playground offering plenty of space and numerous themed landscapes. Tree houses, an Indian village, a zip line, numerous climbing opportunities, a treasure hunt in the jungle, and much more. It's a shame our children are already so big. We would have spent many hours here in the past.

Directly on the palm-lined beach, just 50 meters from the beach house, the old anti-aircraft emplacement is hidden in the dunes. It once housed an exhibition, which can now be found in the Bangsbo Bunker Museum.

A beautiful place, lovingly designed. There's even a bookcase. The large forest children's playground is particularly well-designed.

With its palm trees, this is a very unusual beach for Denmark. It's really beautifully designed, though, with a very gentle slope, making it easy to wade far into the water. It's perfect for families with small children. The beach is also lifeguarded. Behind the dunes, there are beach volleyball courts, a beach house for snacks and ice cream, and a wonderful forest playground. A row of dunes further on, you'll find a contrast from a darker era: the remains of an anti-aircraft emplacement, which can also be visited.
