Strand Schillig is a picturesque beach located in the district of Friesland, Wangerland, Germany. It is situated directly on the North Sea and is renowned for its clean, well-maintained environment, providing a relaxed atmosphere for visitors. The beach extends from Hotel Upstalsboom to a nearby camping site, offering plenty of room for various activities.
One of the unique natural characteristics of Strand Schillig is the significant lowering of the tide, allowing visitors the rare opportunity to walk out to nearby islands from the mainland. This phenomenon can be experienced up to a distance of about 1 km before the low tide fully takes effect. The beach is also known for its high water quality and sandy nature, some of which is as white as Caribbean sand, enhancing its appeal as a holiday destination. During low tide, the beach presents a spectacular view, adding to its charm.
Strand Schillig is well-equipped with modern amenities, including modern sanitary facilities, rescue and first aid stations, and a large playground for children. The beach also offers facilities for wind and kite surfing, making it a popular spot for these activities. After a refreshing dip in the sea or a shower, visitors can relax in the beach's maritime beach chairs and enjoy the view. Nearby gastronomic establishments offer a variety of dining options for visitors.
Strand Schillig charges an entrance fee, contributing to its upkeep and maintenance. Dogs are allowed in a separate, spacious, and free-of-charge natural area of the beach. However, dogs are not permitted in the main beach area, ensuring a comfortable and relaxed environment for all visitors. Exceptions are made for individuals with disabilities who require a service dog.
Access to Strand Schillig is through a parking lot and Beach Cashier 1, located near Hotel Upstalsboom. The parking lot also provides free access to a nearby restaurant and a mini-golf course. For those seeking a more natural and less crowded beach experience, a section of the beach a few meters away offers dunes and a long sandy beach.
