A short, grassy singletrack trail leads to the beach. There's a technical section upstream 🪨

The dune path is actually in the dunes, so it's protected and off-limits to bicycles. While it's a nice alternative to using the road, it's better not to promote its use on a social network like Komoot, as this risks 1. damaging the protected natural area 2. having access prohibited.
