As
its name would suggest, Langeoog is a long
island. It’s
got a dogleg
shape and at
around 14 kilometers in length there’s plenty of broad, flat
beach for a long hike. Nearer town are the Strandkörbe,
or beach baskets. They’re available for rent at around EUR 10
per day, or half that if you rent only in the afternoon. For an evening
sunset, just find a vacant one and enjoy as the money collector will
have closed up his kiosk for the day. Also near town are the amenities
of public restrooms as well as various refreshments, from drink and
snack stands to sit-down restaurants.
Once away from town one can
enjoy solitude with sea and sand, even in the peak season. For the
athletic there is volleyball, windsurfing and swimming. And for those
whose idea of high adventure is a thrilling novel, there’s
ample quiet in which to enjoy it. Langeoog is a great place to get away
from it all and have yourself a good think — without
sacrificing the comforts of home.
