Priwall

Dunes, beach and woodland characterise parts of the landscape. The Priwall is also home to designated protected areas with a variety of plant and animal species.

For many years, the Priwall was used as grazing land. In the 19th century, a bathing facility for local residents was established here. The peninsula was also home to aircraft and shipbuilding industries for a time.

Northern Priwall: beach & dunes
If you are looking for a little peace and quiet away from the bustle, take the passenger ferry across to the Priwall. Here you will find a wide beach with dunes and adjacent woodland. In some areas, the beach slopes gently into the water and is also popular with families with children.

A variety of shells can be found on the beach, including Baltic tellins, sand gapers, blue mussels and cockles.

The Priwall also has a naturist area, beach basket and boat hire, as well as a dog-friendly beach. Please note that a beach admission fee is charged per person.

Southern Priwall: nature reserve
The southern Priwall includes a nature reserve with wetland areas and small bodies of water. Species that can be observed here include European tree frogs, grass snakes, dragonflies, bats, lapwings, redshanks and western yellow wagtails.
