DK: Sheltrene i Mamrelund er et dejligt og børnevenligt sted at tage på picnic med familie og venner. Der er mulighed for at lave bål og grille sin medbragte mad. Der er desuden også toiletfaciliteter.
Lidt historie: Vejdæmningen, der forbinder Hvide Sande nord og Hvide Sande syd, er til dels opført af sand, som sandpumperen ”Nymindegab” i 1915 har hentet ved foden af de høje ”Hvide Sande” klitter ud mod fjorden. Herved opstod et dybt bassin, som fjordens fiskere straks tog i brug som liggeplads, da anlægsarbejdet var færdigt. I løbet af 1930’erne etableredes her bedding og bådebyggeri.
Det fortælles, at en af de tidlige fiskere efter en stormfuld tur på fjorden skal have sagt: ”Her ligger vi lige så trygt som Abraham sad i Mamrelund.”, og siden er stedet blevet kaldt Mamrelund.

UK: "Sheltrene" in Mamrelund is a nice and child friendly place to go on a picnic with family and friends. You may use the fire place to prepare your own food. There are also toilet facilities.
A little bit of history: The road embankment that connects Hvide Sande North and Hvide Sande South, is partly constructed of sand, taken from the foot of the tall "Hvide Sande" dunes, overlooking the fjord, by the pumping tanker "Nymindegab" in 1915. This created a deep basin, which fjord fishermen immediately started using as berth when the construction work was finished. During the 1930s bedding and boat building was established here
It is said that one of the early fishermen after coming back from a stormy day on the fjord should have said: "Here we are as safe as Abraham in "Mamrelund" (Land of Canaan from the biblical stories). Since then this place was called Mamrelund.
