It is accessible by road from Kiskunfélegyháza (Gátér) and Szentes on road 451 or on lower class roads from Szeged (Felgyő), Csépa and Tiszaalpár. It can be reached by rail from Kiskunfélegyháza and Szentes on the #147 railway line. In the first half of the 20th century, it has a small railway connection with Jalgy. Tisza crossing, road and railway bridge connects it with Szentes and pontoon bridge with Csépa.
Despite its plain location, the city has many natural attractions for the tourists. Perhaps the most famous is the sandpit opposite the river Körös, the Körös-torok. In the midst of the low water level of the Tisza during the summer, the sand pad is dry, and fine river sand has been the largest open beach in the area for decades. The Körös-torok festival, is the biggest event of this kind on the Southern Great Plain. A holiday and entertainment district was built around the beach.

http://www.csongrad-megye.hu/site/ Csongrád County Government.Csongrád County is Hungary's brightest countryside, here is Hungary's deepest point, and our river, the Tisza, is considered to be the most ancient in Hungary. Many people, who only ride through the countryside or by rail, can believe our country is unanimous, with little beauty, although the county, due to its special temporary character, has almost all the natural beauty that our Great Plain has. Here you can find the bustling wildlife associated with rivers and saline lakes, but there are some sandy shapes and mounds that are now bound to the plain landscape with some terrain variations. Maybe even the majority of those living here do not know what kind of natural beauty they can offer our country to those who take the time to get to know their wider neighborhood.
