Now the beach is strewn with LEGO parts and "kinder surprises" with instructions in Russian.

Toys were knocked ashore due to a storm caused by a strong cyclone "Axel".
Five Maersk containers fell into the sea from the ship, but the "eggs" filled with air and a plastic constructor floated to the surface of the water.
Representatives of the local tourism bureau said that the 500-meter beach needs to be quickly cleaned of plastic products, because the next storm can take them back to the sea. The head of the village located on the island, Uwe Garrel, quickly attracted the pupils of the local kindergarten to the work: the children were allowed to pick up as many toys as they wished.
Garrel said that those who consider it theft, he invites to help the inhabitants of the island to clean the previously untouched beach from thousands of plastic eggs.
He also noted that cleaning will not be a continuous fun game: in addition to toys, countless plastic bags and other packaging materials have been carried out on the sand.
