List is the most northern community in Germany and located at the very top of the island, in the midst of a beautiful dune landscape. About 1,700 people live in List, although the population increases significantly in the summer due to List being one of the most popular locations on the island.

In the direct vicinity is the “Ellenbogen”, the northern-most point of the island. It has also earned its fame due to the well-known gastronome, Jürgen Gosch. The “Fish King” still runs the northern-most fish stand in Germany, which is considered to be the epitome of fish specialities, even far beyond Sylt’s borders.

List is a popular holiday destination due to its location – nature lovers in particular like to come here to let the fresh breeze blow through their hair. After a beautiful walk along the beach, your cosy holiday apartment will entice you to regenerate and relax!
    

The open North Sea, dune landscapes or tidelands – the diversity of List’s beaches knows no bounds. The Weststrand invites above all surfers to throw themselves into the breakers. Lovers of strong breakers and waves get their money’s worth here. The cool waters of the open North Sea can be enjoyed no matter what the tides are. The Weststrand is located in the middle of a dune landscape and offers children and dog owners as well nudists everything they want from a holiday. Particularly popular is the Jugendstrand (Youth Beach), home to both a youth hostel and a youth camping site, where there are opportunities to let off steam playing beach volleyball or football.

The Oststrand is more peaceful than the beach in the west. Only a few minutes away from the centre of List, the Oststrand is a haven where families with children can relax. The Oststrand is located on the tideland side of Sylt, which means that if you want to swim here you have to be aware of the tides. But even at high tide the waters are docile and children love to paddle here along the shore.
