During our holiday in 2008, this original and unspoiled beach had us immediately excited. Due to its exposed location, it is not so crowded and you always find a nice lonely place, if you walk along the beach.

Otherwise we are always here in February. This is all different due to corona, also full 🙄😆.
It was nice anyway.
We sat in the sun for a while and Pepchen slept the sleep of the righteous dogs. (Doesn't work in February 😃)

A visit to the west beach is an absolute must when traveling in this region. We parked in the "Drei Eichen" hiking car park and were amazed by the beauty of this beach. The west beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe due to its originality and isolation.

Walk to the west beach from the Ibenhorst parking lot.
Heading north, the beach quickly becomes almost deserted. It is then only easily accessible by bike.
The tree cover behind/on the dune is impressive. The decision to take the path along the beach or through the forest is not easy, and is accompanied by the fear of missing something.
