Tönning, located in Schleswig-Holstein on Germany's North Sea coast, offers a distinctive coastal getaway. Visitors will discover a unique "green beach" experience here, set against the backdrop of the Eider estuary and the remarkable Wadden Sea National Park. This means a nature-centric visit, different from traditional sandy shores, where grassy areas meet the tidal waters.
The town's own Tönninger Badestrand provides a charming green oasis for relaxation and experiencing the unique Wadden Sea environment directly. For those craving vast sandy landscapes and iconic pier architecture, the famous St. Peter-Ording Strand is a notable nearby option, offering a classic North Sea beach day. This highlights the choice between Tönning's tranquil green coast and expansive sandy alternatives.
If a peaceful retreat by the Wadden Sea is what you seek, Badestrand Vollerwiek offers a serene natural setting. Tönning and its surroundings provide a special opportunity to connect with the unique tidal ecosystem of this UNESCO World Heritage area.
