Vejers is a small Danish holiday resort with only 27 inhabitants, but a multitude of holiday homes. Vejers is situated in the former Ribe Amt, and is part of the Syddanmark region as of 2007, roughly 30 km northern of the town of Esbjerg and between the villages of Blåvand and Grærup on the west coast of Jutland.
The nearest town is Varde at a distance of about 20 km.
The village can be divided into the main area Vejers and the bigger area of Vejers Beach. Vejers Beach is alongside the military base of Kallesmærsk Hede to the south and east, where the uninhabited town Vejers is situated. The abandoned houses are used as military training facilities. Vejers Strand however has 22 registered residents and over 500 holiday homes of various categories.
It's known for its sweet factory. During good visibility you can recognize both of the 20 and 35 square kilometers-sized offshore wind parks Horns Rev 1 and 2. The long, broad beach is very popular with surfers, sailors and swimmers as well as riders. Occasionally Hercules military transport planes make training flights onto and from the beach, closed for the purpose.
