About this sauna

Set just above the beach within a small coastal hub, this sauna sits alongside a food shack, public shelter and shared facilities, giving it a more open and public-facing setting than some more secluded outdoor saunas.

Positioned higher up on the dunes, the sauna looks directly out over the beach and sea, with walkers, swimmers and beachgoers often passing through the area during warmer weather.

From my visit

How close is the sauna to the beach?

The sauna sits just above the beach within the dunes, with steps leading down towards the water. Depending on the tide, the sea can either be very close by or involve a longer walk across the sand.

What’s the atmosphere like around the sauna?

Although the sauna sits within the dunes beside the beach, it’s part of a small beach hub with a food shack, public shelter and shared facilities nearby. It felt relaxed, easy-going and social rather than remote or secluded.

What stood out most about the location?

The open views out to sea really stood out, with the sauna positioned higher up on the dunes overlooking the coastline. Even with nearby facilities and a small beach hub close by, the setting still felt calm and spacious.
