We came here for an easy walk and a bit of peace and quiet. Parking is free and right at the tourist info. Public toilets right beside it. There's no entrance fee to this beautiful Nature Reserve. A good part can be done with a stroller/wheelchair. Closer to the beach the path (mostly wooden planks) changes and gets more narrow and mostly contains of sand. We did walk that far with our Bulldogs pet stroller and turned back after that. But it definitely is worth a visit, even you couldn't go a full circle (just by foot you definitely can and should). Along the way there are several viewpoints to enjoy the nation and the wildlife. Also some reminders of WWII still standing. It's a very pretty area. Very calm, quiet and peaceful. As we hoped. Not really many visitors. Closer to the dunes and beach there are more folks around. But not along the way. We really enjoyed our time here. Very pretty, very well made and maintained. Great natural area with a good boardwalk and birdwatching hides, toilets and free parking. Motorhomes can also stay overnight free of charge. No water or electricity or disposal facilities for motorhomes, but still a stop. A lot of terns and gulls flying over on their way to the nesting sites in April Super place to observe shore birds on inland lakes. Several hides & well constructed boardwalks along the edge of the lakes/shore: gulls, terns, avocet, several kinds of grebe, shelduck & many more. Good parking, toilet, but visitor centre closed. Beautiful nature park, easy to combine with a walk on the magnificent beach. We did a wonderful stroll in this natural reserve. There's a wood paved path that makes the walking easy and safe even for impaired people Amazing nature reserve! Stumbled by accident, and spent an hour roaming around. Quite, peaceful, and very beautiful! Nice reserve with wooden pathway, suitable for wheel chair access. The beach is accessible over a sandy path through the dunes. There are a number of WW2 installations which dot the reserve, on of which is used as a foundation and viewing platform. Superb reserve, 2m height restriction on parking. Toilets open 24 hour, 2km broadwalk good for wheelchairs. 3 hides, great birdwatching, migration stop point for birds. Police in area as migrant boat launch on nearby beach.
