About this audio guide
This guide to the Paradiesstrand, a strip of Rhine sand beside Düsseldorf's MedienHafen, is about appetite and an unwritten bargain: the barbecues nobody officially allowed, the supplies carried over the footbridge, and what the city asks in return. It also follows the beach's name, and a city official who decided a word on a map mattered. Best heard standing on the sand, facing the Rheinturm across the water.
