Bottom is sandy with some seaweed further out and some spread out big rocks in the water on the north side of the bay. The spot is not very big, more than 5-7 riders and some have to move further out so it doesn't get crowded.

There's a big grass field behind the beach which is suitable for setup and launching. The beach gets very crowded in the summer if the weather is nice, mostly families with little children. When this is the case, walk out on the pebble "peninsulas" south of the beach before entering the water.

Europe, no predictable trades or sea breeze. Best direction is
S to SW. See the map provided, it is also possible to ride on
the south side of Kovik so the "onshore/offshore" directions
can pretty much be neglected, just avoid easterly winds.

Drive 30km south along the coast, a few kilometers before Klintehamn turn right at the sign "Kovik". Park at the parking lot and walk the last 300m to the beach. Absolutely NO parking allowed down at the village, leave your vehicle in the designated parking lot.

Take extra care not to irritate these people, they are not yet fully accustomed to our colorful toys and the amount of equipment we bring on a good day! So keep it clean and don't spread your gear all over the place. Give all other beach users "right of way" or they will likely complain with the group that runs the museum, it's a small place where everyone knows everyone.
