Westerland Beach & Promenade
Westerland Strand & Promenade
The main beach and seaside promenade of the island's capital, with beach wicker chairs, surfing, and sunsets. It is the liveliest spot on Sylt.
Westerland is the capital and transport hub of Sylt. The beach is a 10-minute walk from the railway station. The seaside promenade runs along the dunes, next to a concert hall, cafés, and beach bars. Below it are rows of striped beach wicker chairs (Strandkorb), which can be rented by the day. In summer, the Kitesurfing World Cup and seaside concerts take place, and evening sunsets draw large crowds. Access to the beach requires a Kurkarte (spa guest card). Friedrichstraße, which connects to the promenade, is the island's main shopping street.
Opening hours
All day (beach pass required approx. April–October)
