Spot de Dornumersiel

Dornumersiel

Dornumersiel

Overview

Dornumersiel is the "secret spot" of the East Frisian coast — a picturesque fishing village with the largest kitesurf area on the North Sea (80 ha), uncrowded despite exceptional conditions. Stunning views of the dune-lined East Frisian islands offshore. Standing-depth water as far as the eye can see, sandy bottom, constant wind. Ideal spot for beginners (safe standing area, school on site) as well as experienced riders (large zone, quality flat water). Natural and quiet atmosphere, far from the crowds of Schillig or Norddeich. Camping and mobile homes directly on site. Modern sanitary facilities (Das Barke).
