Great natural reserve, one can cross the river at a certain place as well. Beware that dogs are prohibited on the actual river side if you decide to walk inland away from the beach.

Parked at the Pichelebe Bridge. We followed the signed shortest path (about 2km). It was a very hot day and the shadow of the trees was refreshing. In the middle of the route there is an observation platform providing a magnificent view on the protected area in the park. Also observe the treebark at the start of the itinerary.

Parked by the road and walked 1 km to the beach which was breathtaking. Hardly anyone there, we had so much space. There is driftwood on the beach which is nice. Swimming was a loy of fun, but not for the little ones as it got deep very soon, and the water did not pull back in the same way as on the public beaches.
