Where to look

Search in autumn and winter after storms, in bands of shells, seaweed and waterlogged wood. Amber often stays in the gullies behind the high sandbanks, far from the shore.

Wind and waves work best from: W, NW, SW.

Local rules

The beach borders the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park: keep out of the marked bird protection zones. Check the tide table, because the flood fills the gullies between sandbanks quickly. White phosphorus was found here in 2014, so do not carry doubtful pieces in a pocket.

Diving

Strong tidal currents and murky water. No data on shore diving.
