Flovt Strand is on the Little Belt coast east of Haderslev in South Jutland, between Årøsund and Hejsager. The nude section runs south from the outlet of Bankel Nor, a lagoon-like lake behind the beach, towards the headland of Halk Hoved. It is a fine sand beach with almost no stones on the shore or in the water, backed by flat meadows and the lake rather than dunes, so there is little shelter from wind or sun. The sandy shallows attract boat owners, who anchor just offshore, and some sit nude on their boats. Depending on the season the lake outlet can be an easy sandy crossing or too deep to wade, in which case naturists settle just north of it. The area is a nature park without holiday homes, so it stays quiet; regulars describe few people on weekdays, almost no clothed bathers in the nude stretch, and a relaxed feel. Insects from the lake can be a nuisance with an offshore wind.

Græm Strand is a stretch of North Sea beach on Jutland's west coast in Holstebro Municipality, in the southern part of the Husby Klitplantage dune forest near Husby. The beach got an official FKK sign in 2017, and Danske Naturister lists it among its naturist beaches; one regular calls it among the best in the country. It is a sandy surf beach reached through the dunes, where the eroding dune face exposes a moraine layer from the last ice age containing petrified wood. Several old bunkers used to stand on the beach, though many have since been removed. You can swim in the waves, but this is the open North Sea, so watch the currents and swim near others. People bathe here for much of the year, and it is also a good walking beach. Inland, a short walk leads to a 'troll forest' of early-1800s oaks stunted into twisted bushes by the sandy, salty soil. Expect space and few people rather than facilities.

Houstrup Strand, also spelled Hovstrup, is a North Sea beach in Varde Municipality, just north of Henne Strand on the west coast of Jutland. Danske Naturister lists it as an official nude beach, a status that rests on a recommendation from the Blaabjerg tourist office. From the car park, a sign points south to the 'fribadestrand', and nude bathing starts about 200 m along. The beach is wide sand backed by high dunes, which give good shelter from the prevailing west wind. Regulars describe an informal layout. The first stretch is used mainly by families. It is followed by a quieter area for couples and then by an area used by single visitors. There are no facilities on the nude section. Guests from the naturist campsite Lyngboparken in Henne use Houstrup or Børsmose Strand, further north, as their local beach. The beach is not well signposted from the main road, so it is easy to miss.
