Dueodde Beach

Dueodde Beach is located on the Baltic Sea's southern tip of Bornholm Island, with regular ferry services connecting it to Ystad, Sweden. The island, which is close to Denmark's easternmost point, is geographically isolated from the mainland, but it is a popular holiday destination thanks to Dueodde Beach's large expanse of fine white sand.

Bornholm's nickname, "Sunshine Island," alludes to the island's prevailing climate, which remains warm from May to October on average. In fact, the weather is so pleasant that figs can ripen here. There are plenty of options for laying down in the sand, with the beach stretching for nearly 30 kilometers (19 miles) in total.

As you return from the beach, you'll pass through grassy dunes and thick forest, which conceal WWII defenses. On the beach's most southerly parts, where the sands can stretch for hundreds of meters, shelter can be found among the dunes.

While tempting, swimming should be done with caution because sandbanks cause shallow water to quickly become deep. Fyrvej and Skrokkegrdsvej are the closest car parks and toilet facilities, both of which are a short walk away and provide disabled access to the beach via a boardwalk.
