On the way to Denmarks finest beach.
Dueodde is a beach in Denmark on Bornholm's southernmost tip. It is known for its very fine white sand which is also used in timeglas. The area around Dueodde was originally a large sandy area, but in the eighteenth century, it was planted with pines, as well as Ammophila and Leymus grasses to reduce sand drift. Today, Dueodde is a protected area. The sand at Dueodde moves easily with the wind to form dunes. The vast dune area and associated sandy beach start at Haslemere extending some 30 kilometres (19 mi) almost without interruption.

Enjoy your stay on this beautiful Island, the only beach even prettier is not all that far away at (behind) Roenne (miles of beach you will have to yourself, beautiful white sand with the forest right behind it)!
Nice shot...it's great to see a photo with a story behind it. BTW, what's the average temperature in the summer for Norway?
Thanks for sharing both the photo and the story. My paternal grandparents were from Denmark. I'll have to add it to my bucket list.
Thank you so very much guys for looking and commenting on my photos :)
More to come....
