Just a two-minute walk in the opposite direction from our B&B, will take you to this hidden away treasure, which is home to many interesting migratory birds from the polar regions. One of the most impressive things is the walk to the beach as you get to view lots of farm animals and wildlife. As you travel through the sand dunes, one of the nicest views is of the freshwater lake where you can catch sight of wild geese, ducks and swans, this is even before you reach the beach. Upon reaching the beach you can decide on the direction you want to take, by going right you get to see some of the most wonderful and unique rocks and shells. If you choose to go left you can walk for miles and miles with just you, the sand and the water.
