About Grimmshoerner Bucht
Probably rather dirty because just next to Elbe lane. Mud is smelly. Tidal spot. If water at Kugelbake gets too shallow you can move on to this spot. Therefore: rideable from 3 hours before low tide until 3 hours afterwards. (During hide tide the water possible but deep!). If you are lucky nice sets of 1-2m waves roll in. Otherwise rather choppy. During low tide water gets very shallow. Then only a narrow strip can be used. Overall the spot will be crowed if there are 5-10 kiters, depending on the water level. On low tide you can walk for about 250m to the water, but only in NE and E winds. But be careful with the strong current and the close by fairway. Never go out alone! Close to shore rocky wave breakers which are under the surface on high tide.

How do I get to Grimmshoerner Bucht?
Just next to Fort Kugelbake. The beach is at the far Northeast end of Cuxhaven's beaches. You can't miss it. There is a weird-looking black structure erected there (the "Kugelbake"). A 27 to Cuxhaven. Follow the signs in the direction of "Kurgebiete" or "Duhnen/Doese". "Kugelbake-Halle" is the actual place you want to go. There is a big parking spot that is frequently used by caravans. Park there and take your stuff past the "Fort Kugelbake" to the far northeastern end of the beaches. Alternative: there is a parking spot next to the habour "Alte Liebe" on the other side of the bay. There you can park right by the water. Drive over the dyke and after it take the first left and drive 100m and park for free.
