St. Peter-Ording

St. Peter-Ording combines the North Sea, wide beaches and ideal conditions for water sports

St. Peter-Ording is one of the most famous coastal towns on the North Sea and captivates visitors with its miles of sandy beaches, dune landscapes, and the typical Wadden Sea atmosphere. Its wide beaches set on stilts, the fresh North Sea air, and its location right on the Wadden Sea—a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site—are all hallmarks of the town. St. Peter-Ording boasts one of the largest and widest sandy beaches in Europe. In fact, the beach there is about 12 kilometers long and up to 2 kilometers wide at low tide. For water sports, St. Peter-Ording is considered one of the best spots in Germany—especially for: kitesurfing, windsurfing, beach sailing, kite buggying, and wing foiling.

The pile dwellings are the landmark of St. Peter-Ording. The buildings on stilts stand directly on the beach and characterize the image of the North Sea coast with their special architecture. Originally they served as protection against storm surges, among other things, but today some of them house restaurants, cafés or rescue stations. The pile dwellings offer an impressive photo opportunity, especially at sunset.
