The diverse marine life also makes it excellent for fishing.
Is Jelse Odde accessible for wheelchairs or strollers?

Even in warmer months, appropriate footwear for sand, gravel, and pebbles is advised.
What is the geological history of Jelse Odde?
Jelse Odde and the northern part of Lundø have a fascinating geological past. During the Stone Age, Lundø was an island.

The area has been protected since 1965 to preserve its natural values.
