Orientation, sun and shore

JunDecNESW

The shore faces south (185°). Open water fills about 50% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.

The sun sets over the sea in October–March; in mid-December it goes down at 16:18 local time on a bearing of 238°.

Sunrise is over the sea in October–February.

The opposite shore is only about 8.0 km away to the south, which keeps the water sheltered from big waves. The beach is on an island of about 394 km².

About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 77 m deep and 76 m at 3 km, so deep water starts close to shore. Behind the beach the ground is about 216 m above sea level 500 m inland and 533 m at 1.5 km, so the beach is backed by steep slopes or cliffs.

Within 1 km, the land is 64% shrubland, 18% grassland and 17% tree cover (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a largely natural setting. Water makes up 46% of that circle.
