Sahlenburg Beach & Wernerwald
Sahlenburger Strand
A quiet beach at the western end of Cuxhaven, where the sand runs straight onto the Wadden Sea mudflats, backed by the Wernerwald forest and heathland, a rare sight on the North Sea coast.
Sahlenburg is the westernmost seaside district of Cuxhaven. It is quieter than Duhnen, and its beach runs directly onto the Wadden Sea mudflats, which stretch a long way out at low tide. Along with Duhnen, it is a departure point for carriage and hiking trips to Neuwerk Island. Behind the beach, the Wernerwald forest and heathland have shaded trails that are ideal for a leisurely bike ride. Summer visitors also pay the tourist tax here, and beach chairs can be rented.
