Timeline

  1. 16:08

    Sønderstrand

    Find a spot on the south beach. The sand is firm enough for walking, and the view looks northeast toward your next stop.

  2. 16:28

    Sønderstrand

    Watch the sun set toward the southwest. The light fades quickly over the Wadden Sea.

    Pick you own oysters

    Walk northeast to the oyster beds. Put on your rubber boots and pick your own oysters. The area is accessible year-round, but ensure you are harvesting in a month with an 'R' for safety.

Local tip

The oyster beds are north-east of Havneby. Bring rubber boots as the ground is wet and muddy.

Check before you go

  • Oyster picking is free but only safe in months with an 'R' in the name (September to April).
  • Sønderstrand is open all day for beach access.
