Latest reviews on Lower Saxony's beaches

Hauptstrand Langeoog
10 Zalynne Kessler

We absolutely love Langeoog among the East Frisian Islands. It's not overly crowded and offers great options for dining and shopping. The sandy beach with mussel banks and dunes is incredibly spacious and dreamlike. Watching the sunset from a beach chair is simply amazing, and it's also a great place for families.

Duhnen Beach
10 RAHUL SHARMA

To be clear, this isn't a beach for swimming, but you can take a unique walk in the ocean for about a kilometer. The water is clear, so you can see crabs before getting too close. On sunny days, it's a great spot to soak up some rays. Families with kids will enjoy visiting here 😉. And just to add some fun, I included a flipped photo that might make you laugh 🤣🤣🤣. Have a great time at the beach!

Billriff strand
10 Nates.

The beach boasts a long stretch of golden sand, making it a great spot to soak up the sun and enjoy a day by the water.

Juist strand
10 Nikolai

As an avid beach-goer, I can confidently say that this beach is a true gem. The crystal-clear waters and soft sand make for a perfect day in the sun. Whether you're looking to relax and soak up some rays or take a dip in the refreshing ocean, this beach has something for everyone. The surrounding scenery is breathtaking, with lush greenery and stunning views of the horizon. I highly recommend this beach to anyone looking for a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With its serene atmosphere and natural beauty, it's no wonder why this beach is a favorite among locals and tourists alike.

Hauptstrand Wangerooge
4 Milo Mitchell

Be prepared to be surrounded by throngs of people if you dare to venture to this beach. The sand may be nice, but the water is disappointingly calm and uneventful. While it may be suitable for children, there is little else to offer in terms of excitement or entertainment. And if you were hoping to escape the crowds by walking to nearby attractions, think again - everything is conveniently located within walking distance, ensuring that the masses will follow you wherever you go.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 14 beaches in the region, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

The hottest month of the region is August - air temperature during this time warms up to 23.8°C and water up to 19.9°C. The coldest month is January - air temperature drops to 3.2°C and water to 1.2°C.
