Sydvestpynten is one of the most popular spots in Copenhagen area, lots of kiters, few other visitors and bathing guests.
Enough room to land and launch kites. The `beach` is not really a beach suited for normal bathing - since it is so shallow close to the shore. The rigging area is a mix of sand, shells and grass.
Close to bird habitat so water just south of spot is restricted from kiting!
