Beach holidays 

Water, waves and wellbeing 

The kids will love it here! Collecting shells, building sandcastles, splashing in shallow water and running around without a care in the world – everything you need for a happy family holiday. 

And it’s not just children who are drawn to the water – a relaxing spot by the lake or a stretch of beach make for a great family getaway. Niedersachsen has both in bucketloads and spades! 

Along the North Sea coast of Niedersachsen, the options are many and varied: the coastal towns and East Frisian Islands offer wide, fine sandy beaches and are well set up for holidays with children. But even away from the coast, there are surprisingly many inviting waterside destinations you might not expect – hidden gems for those who find the journey to the seaside a bit too far.
