  • It is known for its very fine white sand. 
  • The area around Dueodde was originally a large sandy area, but in the eighteenth century, it was planted with pines, as well as Ammophila and Leymus grasses to reduce sand drift.
  • Today, Dueodde is a protected area.
  • The sand at Dueodde moves easily with the wind to form dunes.
  •  The vast dune area and associated sandy beach start at Haslemere extending some 30 kilometres (19 mi) almost without interruption. 
  • Apart from the beach, the only other noteworthy feature is the Dueodde Lighthouse on the southern tip.
  • It is the tallest on the island. Built in 1962, it offers a panoramic view of the surroundings.
