Just because you are a beachgoer, doesn’t mean that Germany should not be on your list of countries to visit!

Sylt
Sylt Beach

Sylt is different from the above two suggestions of the best beaches in Germany in the sense that it is not a beach by itself, but an island.

Dubbed as the “Queen of the North Sea”, the island sits in the middle of the Wadden Sea, a UNESCO World Heritage Site!
