The design is based on the nature and the people of Selvika Bay, which was first settled five thousand years ago. A slow amble along the concrete ramp takes both able-bodied and disabled visitors from the road down to the beach, offering a sequence of different views along the way. At the road end there is car- and bicycle parking and toilet facilities, and at the beach end there is a fire pit and an outdoor kitchen and seating.
