A freshwater lake (despite the name) and nature site 5 km north of Ringkøbing. Hike the small Hindø island og take a dip at the small sandy Alrum Strand beach.

Edutainment park about nature, biodiversity and climate. No rides as such but plenty to see and do, also for kids (all texts are in Danish, English and German). 2 hours minimum, but if you bring kids and they like it go for 4 hours (5 if you plan to eat in the cafeteria).
The lagoon is an obvious attraction in Ringkøbing. Hike or bike around the shores and enjoy the views and the rich birdlife. The Bagges Dæmning causeway immediately west of town is a popular spot. It is also possible to canoe or do watersports here in the summer.
Water world park for the whole family right next to the beach in Søndervig. Many different activities, including bowling, dart, and of course various water sports. Buy a one-day pass or book an extended stay.
Big annual sandsculpture festival right at the beach in Søndervig. New art theme every year.
Go to Søndervig at the coast 9 km west of Ringkøbing. Søndervig is a tiny town in itself, but swells with holiday makers in the summer. Enjoy the vibe, the vast sandy beach, or grab a bite or a cold beer at an eatery. Several playgrounds for kids and a large water world holiday center (Lalandia).
The harbour is a popular lowkey spot in Ringkøbing. Several eateries and sometimes events. See if you can find the huge jellyfish mural.
