A green beach right on the North Sea and a 30-metre-long coast guard boat in the town centre give Horumersiel two very different features. The town combines bathing facilities with a maritime historical landmark and a promenade on GoldstraĂźe. If you are looking for a hotel in Horumersiel, distinguishing between the beach, the town centre and the broader attractions of Wangerland can help you organise your interests.
Promenade and local life
Goldstraße is home to a central promenade area with shops, cafés and restaurants. If you would like to include a stroll and a break in your day’s plans, you will find a different focus here than at the beach. Individual shops and food and drink businesses may change, so check current offerings when making specific plans to visit.
Green beach and beach resort
Horumersiel’s beach is a green beach: soft grass lies right on the North Sea, offering an alternative to a sandy beach. Its character is defined by expansive grassy areas, beach chairs and a large adventure playground. The beach resort complements the bathing facilities with a well-maintained grassy area and sea views. It also has a children’s playground, changing rooms and sanitary facilities; rescue and first-aid stations are nearby.
This brings together two specific aspects of a beach visit: the green shoreline and the facilities at the beach resort. If certain facilities are important to you, check the latest information before your visit, as operational details may change. The green beach also remains a distinctive alternative if you are not necessarily looking for a sandy beach when choosing your destination.
A coast guard boat in the town centre
The 30-metre-long Coast Guard Boat 19 is on display in the centre of Horumersiel. Built in 1952, it served the US armed forces and the German Navy. Its year of construction and service history give the boat its own maritime significance alongside the bathing facilities. This means you can explore Horumersiel not only through its beach and promenade, but also through a tangible piece of naval history.
More to discover in the wider Wangerland area
In the wider travel destination of Wangerland, the National Park House Wangerland in Minsen offers another distinct attraction. With around 250 m² of exhibition space, it offers multimedia ways to actively experience and discover the Wadden Sea. Renewable energy and climate protection are also topics covered in the exhibition. Check the latest visitor information before your visit.
Nature and outdoor activities take centre stage at the Wangermeer in Hohenkirchen. Various walking trails invite you to enjoy extended outings with varied views of the lake’s natural surroundings. You can reach a large, circular island in the middle of the Wangermeer on foot or by bike via a 325-metre-long promenade bridge. Many bird species, including rare ones, have settled at the lake; it also provides a habitat for a wide variety of fish.
For cycling tours through Wangerland, the junction map lets you plan more than 200 kilometres of flat routes to suit your preferences. Check the latest route information before setting off. The inland lakes Wangermeer and Hooksmeer also offer water sports that are independent of the tides. Which activities are available and how they are organised can vary by season.
