However, the Danish Government in 1860 separated the island from the mainland. Access to this island is by a short boat ride.

This is the most popular beach on the island and is well loved by locals and visitors alike for its calm and turquoise waters.
The beach is almost a mile long and the still waters make it a great spot for paddle boarding, swimming, kayaking, or even snorkeling.
