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 Strandkorbe, 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.
