The island's scenic beauty and tiny groups of thatched, traditional cottages are its main attractions, with the pretty towns of Westerland and Sylt-Ost a magnet for tourists.

Best time to visit

The island boasts a marine climate which is strongly influenced by the Gulf Stream, with winter temperatures slightly warmer than those on the mainland and summers slightly cooler, at around 17?C. Sunshine hours are long here due to the low-relief ocean setting and the constant winds from the west and northwest, which scatter clouds before they can form. Most visitors arrive from June to August to take full advantage of the beach resorts.
