Ahoy: Vacation by the sea

Between dunes and waves

Sand and mudflats, mussel beds, dense seagrass meadows, salt marshes, sandy beaches and dunes: nature on the 1,585-kilometer-long North Sea and Baltic Sea coast is a very special habitat - and ideal for a relaxing vacation, far away from the stress of everyday life. Also worth discovering are the stately houses in the style of seaside resort architecture and plenty of historic handicrafts that continue to be lovingly cultivated. Find out here what you can experience on Germany's coasts and islands.
