Nordstrand Borkum is a picturesque beach situated on Borkum Island in Germany. It forms part of a 26-kilometer stretch of white sandy beaches in the western and northern areas of the island. The beach's natural beauty is accentuated by an array of shells scattered across the sandy landscape and the presence of seals, which adds to the location's charm. The beach is not only a perfect spot for sunbathing and relaxing but also offers opportunities for long coastal walks and hiking. Despite its popularity, particularly during the summer months, the expansive size of the beach ensures that it never feels overcrowded.
The beach is divided into four distinct and guarded bathing areas: Südbad, Nordbad, Jugendbad, and FKK-Strand. Each of these sections has its own unique character and offers a variety of amenities for visitors.
Südbad, located at the southern end of the beach, offers a guarded beach area, milk booths with traditional island treats, daily beach activities, and a designated area for dog owners. Visitors can also rent beach chairs and tents.
Nordbad, situated near the Borkumriff sandbank, is a family-friendly beach area featuring a guarded beach, a designated igloo area, and a dog beach. It's a popular spot for water sports with facilities for surfing and kiteboarding, and beach animations are available from May to October.
Jugendbad, east of Nordbad, is primarily aimed at young people but is open to all. It offers ample space for various activities such as beach soccer, beach volleyball, and bonfires in specific areas with local authority permission.
FKK-Strand, located in the northeastern part of the island and supervised by DLRG lifeguards, is considered by many to be the most beautiful beach on Borkum. It is known for its fine sand, dunes, and a designated FKK area. Amenities include a beach cafe, a sauna with a restaurant, a children's playground, and a volleyball net. A specially designated area is also available for dog owners.
The beach is connected by a 4-kilometer-long promenade that serves as a popular meeting point for visitors. The central section of the promenade features a music pavilion and various restaurants and cafes. On summer evenings, guests can enjoy the romantic sight of the sunset over the sea, accompanied by live music from the pavilion. For those seeking a quieter beach experience, a walk along the Nordstrand towards Hooge Hörn offers a peaceful atmosphere away from the bustling beach life.
Despite the absence of specific information on parking and how to get there, Nordstrand Borkum is a worthwhile destination for anyone visiting Borkum.
