Shallow in a big part of the bay, very flat from S to W winds. Bottom is sandy with some seaweed further out and some spread out big rocks in the water on the north and east side of the bay. The spot is not very big but 15 riders are easily accommodated. The peninsula is not higher than maybe 2m which creates perfect offshore conditions with flat water.

 How to get there
Transport:
- Car
Access:
- Medium Walk


Gotland is off the shore from the Swedish East coast. To Gotland by ferry or air, arrive in Visby. Drive 30km south along the coast, a few kilometers before Klintehamn and maybe 1-1.5km south of the Kovik sign, turn right on a small unmarked road between a yellow house and a barn. After a few hundred meters there's a gate, make sure to close it after you, the land owner keeps cows on the entire peninsula! Drive maybe 500m further and park at the trees just before the dirt road ends.

Edit
 Rules, Restrictions and Extra Info
Rules:
- Other


This is private land and the owner keeps cows there. Always close the gate! No driving outside the dirt road is allowed. It's not a beach but still it has a few other visitors every day in the summer so keep it clean and don't spread your gear all over the place.
