Svaneke - Nexø: 9,6 km
Just outside Svaneke on the Nexø road by a little natural
dinghy harbour you’ll find Svaneke lighthouse. On
the other side of the lighthouse is Hullehavn, the locals’
bathing beach, complete with springboard, bathing
jetty, an area for small children and a little ice-cream
kiosk called “Hullehavn Storcenter” (Hullehavn Shopping
Centre).
Bornholm’s second-largest town, Nexø boasts the
island’s largest fishing harbour, where fishing boats
from all over Denmark bring their catch to supply the
town’s fish processing industry. A shipyard, a net
maker’s and other businesses around the harbour
service the fishing boats and other vessels. Up in the
town square, the atmosphere is much more relaxed.
Along with market days, the town square is also the
centre for the summer Baltic Jazz Festival and other
entertainments.
Nexø - Dueodde: 10,5 km
Balka Beach is a long and popular bathing beach sheltered
from the prevailing westerly summer wind. Known
for its warm, child friendly shallows, you have to wade
out a long way if you want to swim in deep water. The
beach begins at Snogebæk with its many shops and
restaurants, and ends at Balka where you’ll find toilets,

a kiosk, mini-golf and good parking. Lifeguards are on
duty at the beach during high season, and you can hire
water cycles, windsurfing equipment and deckchairs.
The sand at Dueodde is ultra-fine and inviting. The
water is clear and clean and there are many sandbars,
so there is both shallow and deep water close to the
shore. The beach extends for several kilometres either
side of the southern tip of the island. A more than
500-metre long ramp, running from the large main
car park in the wood down between the dunes, means
that you can take your bike with you onto the beautiful
beach. A visit to the top of the lighthouse will
take most people’s breath away - both because of the
number steps involved and because of the marvellous
view that takes in the coast area and the whole of
southern Bornholm.
