The walk from the parking to the promontory is approximately 3.5km(one-way) and 99% is on a gravel road. This makes it boring and a bit irritating for the feet. One can skip some part of this by taking a left to the Klyxenstingen, walking in the woods, viewing a lake(I couldn't make it there while returning as the daylight was fading and I was exhausted after a long day), following Nordklyxen and finally rejoining the gravel road.

There are some houses on the right, and the shore is on the left. Then a public toilet and firewood is available. Note that this is the last point where one can bring a stroller/pram. The pathway is then full of cobblestones and sand, and sometimes walking is difficult if you don't have good shoes.

The view at the promontory is mesmerizing - Gävle coastline to the north, sea to the east and Hållnäs to the west. There is grill place here.

I suggest to reserve at least 4h if you wish to utilize the promontory and views for relaxation. Carry lunch and coffee, or grill something.

Can be reached by a 3km walk from Rulsand camping area. There are marked trails through the woods (which is the better option for if you don't want to walk in shingle beach), and an unpaved road (for the first 2km) or one can walk all the way along the shingle beach to Billudden point. There are some fireplaces and a public toilet along the trails.

If the free parking lot for nature reserve visitors is full, one can park in Rullsand camping parking area with a fee of 45kr.

Quite scenic ( except the first part of the beach which is a nude beach...). Nice walk along the beach (stone beach). It can be quite windy and therefore chilly, and during the summers it tend to be A LOT of mosquitoes along the road and trails (not affecting the beach itself).
