It's not as spectacular as we expected. If you are in the area, I recommend visiting it, but if you have to travel or deviate from your route, no. I expected higher cliffs, but no. The stones on the beach have curious shapes but little else. Beautiful, clean and well-kept environment.

A really nice nature experience. We took a slightly longer walk along the water's edge, and it was both a nice and an interesting walk with the great variations in the cliff and the many exciting stones on the beach. It is a bit difficult to walk there on the many stones, but it is after all nature and part of the experience😊 It is recommended to wear shoes with a hard sole if you want to walk there.
