Südstrand

Südstrand, also known as South Beach, is a picturesque beach located on the Heligoland dunes. It is renowned for its natural beauty, making it a paradise for photographers. The beach is home to a variety of flora and fauna, including gray seals that can be observed from a safe distance. During the right season, visitors can even witness the first small gray seal howlers. The beach is well-suited for swimming in the North Sea, with the German Lifeguard Association (DLRG) on site during peak times for safety. The water is shallow, making it ideal for children, though it is noted to be a bit rocky. At one end of the beach, visitors can often see gray seals sunning themselves. In terms of amenities, Südstrand offers a restaurant and public toilets for visitors' convenience. The restaurant provides a variety of food options and a great view of the beach. Outdoor and indoor seating is available, with friendly service noted by visitors. Visitors are reminded to respect the wildlife and adhere to posted instructions to ensure the continued preservation of the beach's natural inhabitants. The efforts of wildlife guardians in maintaining the beach's natural environment are greatly appreciated by visitors.
