On the water

Flat, extremely shallow water — most areas waist-deep at most. About 200 m walk from the edge before reaching knee-deep water. Fine sand bottom with about 5 large stones to be aware of. In strong winds, water can be pushed out of the lagoon.

Hazards

PROHIBITED from 1 October to end of February (bird protection). Water access only from the dike (not from the Albue Isthmus) to protect reed fields. Very small launch area. In strong winds, the lagoon can partially empty — long walk through mud. Equipment trolley recommended.
