During long walks on the beach, you can come across all kinds of things.
You can search endlessly along the tide line for beautiful shells.
Especially in the shell banks, you can search endlessly for small and special shells.

Many animals too, including crabs, hermit crabs, jellyfish and shrimps.

Large numbers of gulls and sanderlings. Usually only 2 or 3 oystercatchers. Sometimes a few black-tailed godwits.
Eider ducks and cormorants can sometimes be seen resting on the piers.

 Amber stone

Little sparkles on the beach, the tiny yellow translucent amber stones are hard to find. But many an islander goes out on a beautiful day after a storm to see if they can find the yellow gold on the beach.

 Beachcombing

But unfortunately, lots of rubbish washes ashore too.
But you can also enjoy beachcombing among all this rubbish. Who knows, you might find something special.... Or bottle mail, of course.
Or: Join us, redeem the sea.
