William Walker's Top 5 Dog Beaches at North Sea and Baltic Sea
Summer is in the city and what does your four-legged friend do? He sweats and sweats. Just like us.

So let's give them the greatest pleasure and turn the longed-for summer into pure happiness for them, too. With what? With a trip to the beaches of the North Sea and Baltic Sea. And to make sure that this goes off without a hitch and that we don't constantly get nasty looks from other beachgoers, there are plenty of dog beaches. There our faithful companions can dig in the sand with full commitment, romp around with vacation acquaintances and plunge into the floods. The dog beaches are mostly equipped with beach chairs and toilets for the human companions, as well as poop bags and fresh water for our darlings. We present you with our top 5 dog beaches where your sweaty friend can celebrate his doggy life to the fullest.
Dog beach Amrum
Digging your nose into the sand on the finest white beach, then throwing yourself into the waves and paddling after a stick - can dog life be any better? Amrum and dogs are program - the small island is unique because of its Kniepsand, the 15 kilometers long and 1.5 kilometers wide sandbank. Amrum thus has one of the largest beaches in Europe. Therefore, the small island in the Schleswig-Holstein North Sea has also set up several dog beaches for their four-legged visitors. The most beautiful, because mostly totally empty, is in the district of Nebel. You can find it north of the place where the street Strunwai ends at the beach. But also on the two other dog beaches in Norddorf (at the surf and sailing school Amrum) and Wittdün (height of the street Obere Wandelbahn) the dog freedom is boundless! By the way, the way to the water can sometimes be long in Amrum, because it leads through dunes. Perfect for an extended walk before it goes into the refreshing water! However, there is a leash requirement on Amrum - except for the dog beaches, of course. And you should take it seriously, because many birds and rabbits live in the dunes.
Dog beach St. Peter-Ording
In St. Peter-Ording five dog beaches and two exercise areas are waiting to be conquered by dog paws. Because thanks to the long, wide beaches, there is enough space for everyone - children, water sports enthusiasts, tourists, locals and even four-legged friends!

The second free-running area is located at the Ording-Nord nudist beach.
