What to do in Otterndorf Beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Otterndorf Beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

The entire dike area is a must-visit. During the summer, you can enjoy a glass of wine on a blanket in the evening while admiring the Elbe, or take a hike in the mudflats as the sun sets. In the autumn and winter, you can let the storm clear your mind. Even a storm surge can be an exciting experience (as long as the dike holds up!) There are plenty of activities for children, such as searching for mussels in the dishwashing area or playing in the large playground by the water mud area on the South Lake. Delicious food and drinks are available for everyone at the stalls near the dike entrance.
