Schutzhafen Borkum

Schutzhafen Borkum sits on the western tip of Borkum, Germany's largest East Frisian island, offering solid shelter from the notoriously tricky North Sea approaches. You're steps away from the historic lightship Borkumriff, now a museum worth exploring while you're in port. The island itself has a real character to it — think sandy dunes, a car-free old town centre, and proper seafood.
