Boredom?

Not with us!

Our beaches

There's always something going on here

On the long sandy beaches around List, you can find an idyllic spot even in high season. On the impressive Weststrand, surrounded by pristine dunes on the open North Sea, you can swim regardless of the tide. Divided into nudist, textile-wear, youth, and dog-friendly areas, everyone will find the perfect spot.

The opposite of the lively west beach is the quiet and family-friendly east beach, located just a short walk from the town center on the mudflat side. There, the water is shallow and calm at high tide, and when it recedes at low tide, you can observe life on the mudflats up close. In the summer months, lifeguards are also on duty, watching over the well-being of bathers. 

The Lister East Beach

a paradise for little explorers

Here, children can dig in the sand and swim and splash around in the shallow waters of the North Sea to their heart's content. In July and August, there's a fantastic entertainment program with lots of exciting games and activities. Boredom is guaranteed!

Whether you're a little explorer or a big adventurer, there's something for everyone to marvel at here!
