A very beautiful beach promenade and a beach with a restaurant, and nearby is a promenade with fresh fish, fries, ice cream, and much more. Cuxhaven's sandy beach is approximately five kilometers long, making it the longest beach on the German North Sea coast.

Beach Bar Pizzeria Grimmershörnbucht

Highlight • Cafe

The here mentioned "Red Houses" are red pagodas in the bay of Grimmershörn. The pagodas consist of a beach bar with pizzeria, a toilet, a covered stage and the rescue station Grimmershörn. In the Grimmershörnbucht the guest does not find a sandy beach, as is the case on the North Sea coast on about 12 km length from Döse to Sahlenburg. There is a 2 km long green beach overlooking cruise ships, ferries, yachts, tall ships, shrimp boats and the world's busiest waterway.
