What people say
This wonderful beach offers excellent surfing and swimming conditions, complemented by convenient amenities such as showers, restrooms, and a snack bar, all under the watchful eye of our dedicated lifeguards. The snack bar is a bit pricy, some of the toilets are unter renovation and no puplic WLAN for guests yet.
Such a relaxing place to spend your time beside the beach and enjoy sea activities. There is also a beautiful walkway around for a nice walk or jogging. The beach car park has plenty of unlimited free parking spaces. More importantly there is also a washroom and cafe for your needs.
Fine sandy beach and deep blue skies. Nothing better on a hot day than a dip at the beach... maybe a dip with less blue bottles, but thats just nature.
Nobbys Beach is the perfect spot to start the day. Watching the sunrise here is absolutely breathtaking — the colours over the water are stunning and worth the early wake-up. It’s also great for people-watching, with a mix of surfers, joggers, and families soaking up the morning vibe. Walking the break wall is a highlight too; it’s the ideal way to get your steps in while enjoying the fresh sea breeze and panoramic views. Whether you’re after a peaceful moment, some light exercise, or just a scenic spot to take it all in, Nobbys Beach never disappoints.
Loved walking on the beach! Very clean, and they have beach volleyball set up, which is cool. ♡ such pretty views and loved seeing the ships 🚢 pass by.
