Beach near Helgoland, Germany

Helgoland Travel Guide

Germany

Helgoland is a small German island town in the North Sea, with a population of 1,333. Its setting makes it a distinctly maritime destination rather than a large mainland city.

Travellers arriving by air use Helgoland Airport, which serves the town. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so the coastline is better understood as an island and North Sea setting than as a destination for nearby beach-hopping.
