Guide
Good to know
Expect warm shallow water
Visitors report the water here is warmer than other nearby beaches and some of the warmest in northern Europe.
Go at low tide for walking
The beach stretches to nearly 2 kilometers and becomes very wide when tide is low, ideal for long walks.
Visit spring, fall, or winter
Crowds thin out significantly outside summer, and one visitor notes the beach is best in these seasons.
Arrive before 10am in summer
Parking fills quickly during peak season, with visitors reporting hour-long searches in June, July, and August.
Check for seaweed and debris
Visitors have reported significant seaweed in the water and fishing net fragments piled along the shore in off-season months.
