Hörnum Oststrand

If you want to escape daily life, experience a fascinating landscape, and enjoy relaxing vacation days, then Hörnum is the perfect destination for you. The southernmost town on Sylt captivates with its original charm and is beautifully situated between the open North Sea to the west and the calm Wadden Sea to the east. The houses nestle gently against the dunes, while the impressive lighthouse built in 1907 stands guard at the harbor—a perfect photo motif for your holiday memories.

Hörnum is a family-friendly place that delights visitors of all ages. With about 2,500 guest beds, everyone will find suitable accommodation here—from cozy private rooms and comfortable holiday apartments to luxurious hotel suites. There’s also a youth hostel and a campground with 250 pitches for caravans and campers.

Beach for Everyone

While the little ones dig in the “largest sandbox in the world,” you can relax in a beach chair or cool off in the refreshing North Sea waves. Whether you prefer textile or nude beaches, special sections for dog owners or surfers—you’ll find your favorite spot here. Sports enthusiasts can enjoy beach volleyball and other beach activities, while long walks or bike rides through the dune landscape offer the perfect opportunity to discover nature in all its original beauty.

Sauna with Sea View

It’s not just warm in Hörnum during the summer—the southernmost beach sauna on Sylt, idyllically located in a dune valley, provides soothing relaxation all year round. The Finnish log cabin invites you to sweat it out, and a small dune path leads you directly to the nude beach, where after your sauna session you can enjoy a refreshing dip in the North Sea.
