Besides the beach, Dueodde has Scandinavia's highest lighthouse, two German bunkers, and a much-loved ice-cream parlour, Bornholm Softice, but not much else.
My friend and I took route one (five miles) up to a high lighthouse – though the Atlantic mist had rolled in at the top.
Built in 1857, the 171-foot-high lighthouse -- the third tallest in the country -- is nestled at Pacific and Rhode Island Avenues in the city's Inlet section, near the Boardwalk.
The island is only three miles long and half a mile wide but it makes for a long weekend mini-adventure, scrambling down steep banks to explore inlets and coves, and for blustery walks along the exposed cliffs to see Georgian cannons and Britain's highest lighthouse.
The High Lighthouse came into operation soon afterwards, operating until July 1984.
The lights were inactive between 1969 and 1993, but were recommissioned when the High Lighthouse lights were permanently deactivated.
The low wooden pile lighthouse or "Lighthouse on legs", was built two years later, also by Joseph Nelson, to complement the High Lighthouse.
The 110 feet pillar or High Lighthouse and the low wooden pile lighthouse or Lighthouse on legs on the beach were built to replace it.
The Nagapttinam lighthouse is the first conventional 20 m high lighthouse tower, built inside the port premises by the British in 1869.
On Berrow Road, near the High Lighthouse, numbers 4, 6 and 8 were part of a terrace built between 1838 and 1841.
