In the other direction, you can leave Esens and, for example, bike right through the idyllic marshlands and perhaps even along the “Benser Tief” to Bensersiel (What is a “Tief”? Want to know more? Click here on this sentence!). This way, you’ll reach the beach feeling relaxed and refreshed.
Of course, you can also get there by car in just a few minutes, but by bike—depending on the route you choose—you’ll reach the sea and Bensersiel after 4 to 5 kilometers in a state of complete relaxation, having already breathed in plenty of healthy sea air, and you’ll be able to especially enjoy the beach and the many tourist, spa, and vacation facilities.
Our location is ideal for long walks, bike rides, and explorations of East Frisia’s unique natural landscape. This way, you can enjoy an active yet relaxing vacation on the North Sea and make the most of the North Sea’s invigorating climate.
By car, you can reach Bensersiel or the North Sea spa town of Neuharlingersiel in 5 to 10 minutes. You can also easily reach both towns by bus.

Go for a walk along the dike or in the Wadden Sea.
Take day trips to the East Frisian Islands and visit numerous old mills, museums, exhibitions, and other cultural highlights.
