Langeoog, East Frisian for "long island", is one of the East Frisian Islands in northwest Germany and belongs to the federal state of Lower Saxony. Located between the mouths of the Ems and Weser rivers, the island stretches out in the German Bight and is surrounded by the neighboring islands of Norderney, Spiekeroog and Baltrum. Langeoog is part of the Wadden Sea UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nestled between the mudflats and the sea, the North Sea created the 14 km long natural sandy beach and the strong winds shaped the unique dune landscape. If you would like to get a first impression of Langeoog's unique beach, take a look at our webcams. These offer you live views of the fabulous beach, the German Bight and the diverse flora. Observe the colorful houses, nature and the current weather on the island in real time.
