North Beach and Seal Sandbank (Borkum)

Highlight • Beach

The wide view to the north over the white sand of the beach and over to the seal bank are worth a visit to Borkum alone.

Borkum Main Beach

Highlight • Beach

Very spacious main beach of Borkum with a great promenade, cafes and restaurants. If you are lucky, you can see seals with the naked eye on the sandbank opposite, just a few hundred meters away.
