Borkum is the largest and westernmost of the East Frisian Islands, located about 30 kilometers off the Lower Saxony coast in the UNESCO World Heritage Site Wadden Sea. With an area of 31 square kilometers, 26 kilometers of beach, and the stimulating climate of the open North Sea, Borkum is a state-recognized North Sea spa that has attracted spa guests and those seeking relaxation for over 180 years.
The island offers three different types of beaches: The North Beach with its powerful surf is ideal for surfers and wave riders, the South Beach by the Wadden Sea is perfect for families with children, and the nudist beaches provide nature-loving bathing pleasures. The oceanic climate with low pollen levels and iodine-rich aerosols is particularly beneficial for respiratory diseases and allergy sufferers.
Three historic lighthouses shape the silhouette of Borkum: The Old Lighthouse from 1576, the Small Lighthouse, and the New Lighthouse offer observation platforms with panoramic views over the island and the sea. The island railway connects the ferry terminal with the town center and is one of the island's landmarks.
The North Sea Aquarium, the local museum, and guided mudflat hikes to seal colonies and shell banks bring visitors closer to the Wadden Sea ecosystem. Borkum's car-free character — traffic is limited to bicycles, horse taxis, and the island railway — ensures relaxed deceleration. Fresh North Sea fish, East Frisian tea with Kluntje and cream, and crab sandwiches at the harbor shape the culinary island experience.
