It's kind of annoying when access to the pier is blocked by crappy luxury hotels :-(

Beautiful views of the Baltic Sea, and usually few people around. And always pay attention to the path; in some places, the cliff edge is very close.

On the western side of the old river, there are many shopping opportunities and culinary options, as well as many restored little houses, one next to the other. On the eastern side, there are many fish stalls selling fresh fish.

A good cycle path along the coast, partly paved with sand or asphalt. Heavily used by holidaymakers.
