It is a rocky stretch of coastline showing clearly the power of the frequent large waves coming ashore. Always be careful when near the ocean. A good tip is to look at the highest water mark and stay well above there. Watch children at all times.

We enjoy visiting Lights beach. The car parking is sufficient, and the trails up and down the coast are pleasant. Worth a visit. See the Denmark and Surrounds Map (Reference H) to see where Lights Beach is located.

In winter water courses off the heathland and on to the beach on the far side of the rocky island offshore. It is usually stained tea-like by the leaves and branches steeping in the waters.
