Hafen Bensersiel

A lovely little harbor from which you can take wonderful day trips to Langeoog (€33 per person). Langeoog is definitely worth a visit and enjoy on foot or by bike 😎👍.

Probably the best of the surrounding villages. Several textile shops, souvenir shops, and many restaurants with a variety of offerings. Restaurants and cafés don't seem that expensive here. This is probably due to the fierce competition. There's also a Ferris wheel in the harbor itself. A delicious fish stall.

A lovely place for a relaxing stroll on vacation. Nice seating along the west quay. Parking is available, but unfortunately there's a fee, even if you're vacationing in town and paying your North Sea Card fee. At least it's free after 7 p.m. It's also pretty in the evening and a pleasant way to end the day.

A very beautiful and clean beach. Camping with a caravan or tent is just as popular as camping with a blanket on the beach. Sanitary facilities are available and clean. There is also plenty of food and drink, so you can spend the whole day at the beach.

This port is located directly in Bensersiel (North Sea spa), a district of the East Frisian town of Esens in the Wittmund district in Lower Saxony. From a distance you can see the white and impressive dike bridges (swing bridges 1995). To this day, these are a popular photo motif and characterize the place (the landmark of Bensersiel). From up here you have a fantastic panoramic view of the picturesque harbor. Here you can marvel at sailing boats, yachts, fishing boats in the harbor basin and also the ferries to Langeoog depart from here several times a day (the crossing to the car-free island takes about an hour). A special highlight is the Ferris wheel, from which you have a fantastic view of the East Frisian Islands, the harbor and beach, as well as the Wadden Sea/North Sea (from May to mid-September) and the traditional lights/bridge festival celebrated with a lantern parade and fireworks, which takes place once a year. There are (restaurants, cafés, souvenir shops, Markant supermarket with bakery, Nordseetherme...) directly in the center of Bensersiel and at the harbor. There is a charge for parking here during the season (please pay attention to the machines and signs). This review was based on our own experience.

The harbor has its own unique flair. You can also see fishing boats here, which you can take out for fishing or to see the seal colonies. Crab fishing boats were also on display.

A very beautiful harbor in Bensersiel. It's very busy and offers a great view of the ships. The beach is ideal for walking your dog. There are also plenty of trash cans available where you can dispose of your dog's waste bags. You don't have to do that on the beach!! It's easy to let your dog run around on the beach in the areas where it's not prohibited, as there are currently few or no people around. 👍🏻 The people are pretty much all authentic and very relaxed 😀👍🏻 which is a very welcome change from Bavaria 🎉 I'd be happy to come back anytime 👍🏻 PS: If you liked this review and it might have helped you, please give me a "thumbs up" and help me reach the next level on Google Locals 😘

A very beautiful facility in Bensersiel, it primarily serves as a port for the ferry to Langeoog. On the other side of the harbor is the beach gate. From here, you can access the beach (for an entrance fee or tourist tax). There is also a small restaurant and the tourist information office here. Souvenirs can also be purchased here. Restrooms are also located here. These are always very clean and tidy. There are cafés and restaurants around the harbor. Highly recommended.

A very nice little harbor from which you can take the ferry to Langeoog... The harbor is bordered by a very beautiful beach. You can rent a beach chair there and relax. The "Blanker Hans" restaurant, with its great outdoor dining area and lounge areas, completes the beach experience.

The harbor is located directly in Bensersiel, a district of the small East Frisian town of Esens. The harbor complex with its adjacent marina in Bensersiel is always worth a visit; it offers a beautiful view of the island of Langeoog. You can also watch the ferries, yachts, and seagulls. Conclusion: A visit is always worthwhile, whether with family or alone; you won't be disappointed.

A chic little harbor where you can sit back and relax. I really enjoyed it.

A really nice place to relax and have fun for the little ones. The highlight was the Ferris wheel, from which you have a great view over the entire harbor. With the North Sea card you can use the entire beach area including the outdoor pool (with salt water) free of charge. The large playground (with indoor area) makes children's hearts beat faster. You can eat and drink relatively cheaply in the integrated restaurant “Blanker Hans”. For fish lovers, there is a stand with various delicacies in the parking lot. There are cafes, restaurants and souvenir shops on the small promenade nearby.
