Dueodde
Dueodde, Denmark
A wide beach of very fine white sand backed by dunes and pine forest at the southern tip of Bornholm, with a lighthouse you can climb. There is a pay car park at the end of the road, and boardwalks lead to the sand.
Dueodde, at the southern tip of the Danish Baltic island of Bornholm, is the island’s largest beach. Its very fine, pale sand was even used to fill hourglasses. Behind it rise wind-shaped dunes up to 12 m high, backed by pine and spruce forest. The pines and marram grass were planted in the 18th century to curb drifting sand.
The lighthouse, built in 1962, is the tallest on the island. A staircase (197 steps) leads up to views over the coast and the south of Bornholm, although it is open only at irregular times. The main car parks are on Fyrvejen (kiosk, toilets, bus stop) and at Skrokkegård in the woods. Two ramps more than 500 m long run through the dunes, suitable for bikes, pushchairs and wheelchairs; they end more than 100 m from the water. The beach is busiest in July and August. A youth hostel with a campsite (Dueodde Vandrerhjem & Campground) is nearby.
