Dueodde is a beach in
Denmark on
Bornholm's southernmost tip. 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 almost without interruption. Apart from the beach, one 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. The two old lighthouses,
Dueodde Syd (next to the new lighthouse) and
Dueodde Nord are not open for the public. Hidden in the forest one can find the ruins of the two gun batteries
Bornholm Süd, which were constructed by the German Wehrmacht from 1940, but closed down unfinished in 1941, when the soldiers were transferred to
Kristiansand (Norway) to build the battery Vara.
