"Connected to the German mainland by a single rail causeway, Sylt is just over three hours from Hamburg by direct train. The largest of the North Frisian islands, it slices through the North Sea and the Wadden Sea, with salt marshes and mudflats to the east and 25 miles of white sands sweeping along the western coast, grassy dunes buffering the bracing winds."
"Relatively unknown to UK visitors, the island has long been a popular destination for Germans and appeals to an affluent crowd, although not exclusively. Luxury hotels and pioneering health resorts sit side by side with multistorey apartment blocks, modest campsites and laid-back surfing schools."
"Grab a coffee from Kaffeerosterei Sylt, order the herring sandwich from Hafenkiosk 24 and don't miss the salty Sylter Royal oysters from Germany's only commercial oyster farm. The restaurant Oma Wilma focuses on hearty fare, while the shop and bistro Kaseklub, located on an old goat farm, serves a curated selection of cheeses."
