About St. Peter-Ording

Most of the time, the sailing conditions are quite good. Sometimes with onshore winds there are very nice and shallow areas.

How do I get to St. Peter-Ording?

Just before you reach the town of St. Peter, take a right - a sign says 'St. Peter Strand'. It's really easy to find, for it is a popular tourism place.
