St. Peter-Ording

With a beach 12 kilometers long, up to 2 kilometers wide, and 10 million square kilometers of fine, white sand, Sankt Peter-Ording is considered "Germany's biggest sandbox". The small town on the North Frisian peninsula of Eiderstedt is a popular vacation destination and, thanks to ideal wind conditions, a stronghold for kite surfers and sailors. Since 1958 the recognized North Sea health resort with the local sulfur spring carries the addition sulfur bath - beside sea water and mud this serves namely as cure.
The panoramic view from the dike over the beach to the North Sea regularly delights visitors and bathers. The Wadden Sea is under the strong influence of the tides and radiates a very special magic. The calming sound of the waves during high tide and the seemingly endless expanses during low tide regularly fascinate young and old and invite to exciting mudflat hikes. Nature lovers also get their money's worth with the fresh sea breeze, the wide dunes and salt marshes and the nearby forests.

Beaches

A total of five beach sections ensure that those seeking relaxation, recreational athletes, families, nudists and dog owners can pursue their needs without disturbing each other. They are all located in the Wadden Sea National Park and offer plenty of variety for a successful North Sea vacation.
The largest and most popular beach section is the Ording bathing area. There is always something going on here, but families and water sports enthusiasts such as wind and kite surfers feel especially at home here. There is enough room for everyone to swim and romp in Germany's largest sandbox. The Bad bathing area, however, is at least as suitable for this - it boasts a children's playground, a dog run zone and ideal surfing conditions. The more than 1,000 meter long pier is a special eye-catcher and leads directly to the beach.
The beach section St. Peter Böhl also enjoys great popularity among families. The shallow, clear water is considered particularly child-friendly and allows relaxed splashing. Swimming marshals keep a close eye on the section during the high season. The nearby children's playground invites them to romp and play once everything has been explored on the beach. However, the coastal section also attracts mudflat enthusiasts, as the water here is very shallow at low tide or even disappears completely.
The north bathing area is specially designated for undisturbed textile-free bathing and sunbathing. It is located at the tip of the Eiderstedt peninsula and is guarded by lifeguards during the high season. In good weather, the Westerhever lighthouse and even the island of Pellworm can be seen behind the dunes. Four-legged friends are also welcome on a leash and can let off steam in the designated dog exercise area.
The smallest bathing section is located in the village district Dorf. At the secluded beach section with the abundant green space, there is a quiet spot for every nature lover and recreation seeker. Important: Pay attention to the tides! It is only possible to swim during high tide.
So there is something for everyone. Listen to the sound of the sea, enjoy the soft sand under your feet and turn your back on everyday life for a few days.

Excursion destinations

The red and white striped Westerhever lighthouse lives up to the association of a typical lighthouse as a maritime landmark. Located in the nearby village of Westerhever in the middle of the salt marshes, the lighthouse can only be reached on foot or by bike. From the viewing platform at a height of 42 meters, you have a fantastic view over the surrounding landscape, the world of islands and Hallig islands, and the open sea. The two houses at the foot of the lighthouse are operated by the Wadden Sea National Park Authority and house exciting exhibitions about the Wadden Sea.
For those interested in history and culture, the town and the surrounding area on the Eiderstedt peninsula offer plenty of sights. There are more than 11 museums here that portray all sorts of interesting facts about the history and development of the region. The exhibition in the Nature Museum focuses on the North Sea and the Wadden Sea National Park as a habitat for diverse flora and fauna. If you want to learn more about amber and cut your own works of art from it, the Amber Museum is the place to be. Many information boards and exhibits provide background information on the origin and use of the beautiful stone.
The Museum of the Landscape in Eiderstedt is also worth a visit. It gives an insight into the life of the former inhabitants of Eiderstedt and illustrates the settlement of the North Sea coast from early times, during the Middle Ages up to modern times.
If you are interested in artistic creation, you should definitely visit the Kunsthaus "Art House" St. Peter-Ordings. Changing exhibitions show works and artists with a North German connection.
