The coastline is wide and quite long (about 700 meters), covered with soft white sand. The sea is cool, which is characteristic of the northern coast of Denmark, shallow and crystal clear. The bottom is sandy and safe, you can enter the water both from the shore and from artificial embankments that stand out into the sea. At the piers, multi-tiered benches for vacationers and special ladders for comfortable descent are organized. At the end of each embankment towers the original blue and white rescue towers, which are the hallmark of the beach.
