The Wadden Sea National Park offers world-class nature experiences all year round. Millions of migratory birds, grey seals and spotted seals, oysters, black sun, an ever-changing landscape and huge areas of seabed that are laid dry twice a day.

The seals thrive in the Wadden Sea. The area is a large pantry, and the many sandbanks are a safe place for the seals to gain strength and give birth to their young. Harbor seal rests on sandbar.

The Wadden Sea is known for its large, wide sandy beaches. Here you can hear the roar of the waves, feel the wind in your hair and the sun on your cheeks. There is plenty of space for a swim in the summer or a brisk stroll the rest of the year.

The Wadden Sea's unique nature and cultural history and protections have earned the area designations as a national park and UNESCO World Heritage Site. At the same time, the Wadden Sea is one of the most regulated nature areas in Denmark, which helps to protect nature.

When millions of migratory birds visit the Wadden Sea every spring and autumn, it is to fatten up for their journey south or north. For many birds, it is a matter of at least doubling their weight in the few weeks they are here.

In the Wadden Sea there are tons of Pacific oysters and at low tide the large oyster banks are laid dry. For many, oysters are a luxury to eat, but here you can go straight out onto the water and collect them for your own enjoyment.
