The sea mark or beacon in Blokhus is located at 57 degrees 215' and is 15 m high. Its purpose was to prevent strandings and thus increase safety at sea. Today it is the symbol of Blokhus. From May 1st to September 30th, the "small village" is created on the beach, consisting of 47 white bathing huts. The bathing huts are firmly in Danish hands and are not rented out to tourists.

From May 1st to September 30th, 47 white bathing houses are located on Blokhus beach.
In the past, bathing was done in an dignified manner from bathing carriages that were placed close to the water, but later also openly on the beach. Bathing carriages were gradually replaced by bathing houses. They were designed for changing and staying.
Bathing took place directly from the bathing house and they were pulled by horse or by hand as far into the water as possible so that bathers could step directly into the water. This way, bathers avoided exposing their bodies too much, because bathing suits were considered at the time to show an indecent amount of bare skin.
As the number of bathers increased, the practice of pulling the bathing houses into the water had to be abandoned and so they remained on the beach and were used as changing rooms.Nowadays, Blokhus has permission to set up 47 bathing houses on the beach, but only between May 1st and September 30th. All other bathers can use today's modern bathing carriages, namely their own cars, because in Blokhus you can officially drive your car directly onto the beach free of charge.visitjammerbugten.de/jammerbugten/inspiration/die-strandhaeuser-am-blokhus-strand
