The North Sea seaside resort of Hooksiel with its historic center and large water sports area.

The old historic town center of Hooksiel with its listed harbor, the packing houses and the former town hall with its striking onion tower, which is now used as an artist's house, reminds of the times when Hooksiel was an important handling port for the city of Jever.

In the course of the largest German land reclamation measure, an approx. 240 hectare leisure area with hiking, cycling and riding trails, a harness racing track, tennis courts etc. was created east of Hooksiel, as well as an approx. 60 hectare inland lake, the so-called Hooksmeer, which is the old port connects with a new outer harbor. In the Hooksmeer there are several sports boat harbors, a sailing school with pedal boat rental, a surf bay with surf school and the water ski lift system, making Hooksiel very popular with water sports enthusiasts.

On the other side of the newly created dike, a fine sandy beach and a large campsite extend over a length of approx. 4 km. There are sections for nudism on both facilities. A sea water indoor wave pool and a guest house with a children's play area and a well-stocked library complete the offer.

The place is not only a paradise for every water sports enthusiast, but also a magnet for horse lovers: year after year, the big harness racing events with their incomparable flair are exceptional highlights.

The old harbor in Hooksiel is now a listed building. One of the last functioning sewer works is located there. In the harbor basin, typical items for shipping can be seen, such as sea barrels, a pilot tower and a mudder boat. The port used to be the gateway to the city of Jever. Today colorful shrimp cutters come and go in the harbor, which looks like a museum.

Atmospheric, small fishing port with some historic ships. A modder boat is on display. An information board explains the earlier use of the boats to keep the driveways clear. At the port there is also a nice restaurant in the old warehouse and packing houses, where you can sit directly at the port (in summer).
