Drinks & Nightlife
I don't drink that much alcohol but this is the local beer brewery situated in a church. Add some nice meals in the mix and you have a great place to chill out after a full day!

I'm not a big fan of the 'Markt'; it's beautiful but way too busy. But...it is busy for a reason. This place has a great terrace and nice food. Check out the other places around here; there are many!

My favourite part of the beach as it is nice and quiet with an amazing dune landscape. The restaurant itself is large with a nice array of food and lots of places to sit outside and stare at the sea.

If you are up for a party, Woodstock '69 is at the end of a strip of beachplaces that are laidback during the day but go loose at night! Love the hippie vibe and the campfire here!
