Overbeck's Garden Path

Highlight • Viewpoint

Since the house is currently closed, there is only one restaurant. But this offers a pretty good selection, also as a take-away during a garden visit

South Sands Beach

Highlight • Natural Monument

There are certainly many highlights here, the special being the South Sands Ferry. There is no dock at the South Sand. A kind of tractor drives into the water there, where the ferry then docks. Very picturesque!
