Gotland is off the shore from the Swedish East coast. To Gotland by ferry or air, arrive in Visby. Drive 18km south along the coast, turn right towards Gnisvaerd. Park at the grassy parking lot just south of the Gnisvaerd harbor and walk straight out to the beach from there.
There is a "no surf" zone posted on the information board. Lots of families in the summer, go somewhere else if it is too crowded.
