In the far north, surrounded by unique natural beauty and right on the German North Sea coast, we welcome you to our beautiful Eiderstedt Peninsula and to St. Peter-Ording—arguably one of the best-known and most popular vacation destinations in Schleswig-Holstein.
In addition to a 12-kilometer-long sandy beach, North German landmarks, unique natural scenery, North German stories, our stilt houses, wellness, relaxation, and the sea as far as the eye can see, unforgettable experiences await you here. Experiences that become memories. Memories that last forever.
Are you wondering what makes St. Peter-Ording so special and why you should get to know this rather small town? Trust us, the list of reasons is long—much longer than you can imagine. Anyone who’s ever been there knows exactly what we’re talking about.
Four unique local districts, 12 km of sandy beach, and that North Sea vibe await you.
The most famous attraction on our Eiderstedt Peninsula is undoubtedly the lighthouse "Westerhever". But anyone who thinks that’s all there is to it is way off the mark. From St. Peter-Ording, through Garding and Tönning, all the way to Friedrichstadt—Eiderstedt is a peninsula with a charm you simply can’t resist.
Whether you’re wearing rain boots or flip-flops, a vacation on the North Sea knows no bounds. Every season brings its own special highlights waiting to be discovered. In summer, the beach comes alive with maritime activity; in spring, storks perch on the beautiful thatched-roof houses; in fall, pirates storm the historical island; and in winter, you usually have the beach all to yourself.
From new favorites, upcoming events, and the latest stories to the best experiences on our beautiful peninsula—it’s all here.
