The Beach From Another Planet

Beaches have their own special properties, unique characteristics. Visiting
St. Peter Ording on the North Sea Coast Germany, a visitor would be hard
pressed to miss what makes this wide coastal landscape distinctive, the feeling
of landing on another planet. In a few moments the weather changes from bright
sun to grey overcast.The sounds of water coming in, the wind pitch in the ear,
Frank Hubert could have been inspired to write a wet version of his sci-fi
classic Dune after visiting Ording. There is an almost unnatural feeling on this part of the world. 

St. Peter-Ording

In late August, I saw few sun bathers, rather beach trollers taking
advantage of the low tide, reflecting on nature allows us mere mortals to use for a moment.

The Moon Under the Water

A beach where visitors are required to walk without shoes.  This is the tradition in the North Sea resort town of Büsum. As the tide leaves a moon surface textured seafloor pattern emerges.  Once known as a small fishing village, Büsum is an ideal location for exploring Coastal Germany or for just a relaxing break.  The seaside destination of 6,000 offers a Down to Earth charm worth absorbing.
