Our Böhler Lighthouse, built in 1892, is the landmark of the local district "Böhl".
Impressive Natural Diversity
The local district "Böhl" embodies the tranquil side of St. Peter-Ording. Nature lovers adore the beautiful salt marshes and the unspoiled scenery, and enjoy the wide beach for long walks. At the Böhl Lighthouse, you can then relax and let the day come to a close with a breathtaking sunset.

Sandy Beach
Böhl Beach is especially popular with families because, at high tide, it’s perfect for swimming in shallow water. In the 1970s, the stretch of beach in Böhl was a bustling swimming spot. However, over the years, it has become extensively silted up, so that today you can drive right up to the beach and park there.
Salt marshes
Enjoy nature on a salt marsh and mudflat tour and listen to the birds chirping—you can experience this regularly in Böhl, where exciting excursions are offered year-round. Wooden walkways and small bridges over tidal creeks also ensure that your feet almost always stay dry.
Horseback Riding on the Beach
Galloping through tidal creeks, across sandbanks, and through North Sea waves—with the fresh sea breeze on your face and the horizon in view: An unforgettable horseback riding experience awaits you on the long sandy beach between the local districts "Böhl" and "Dorf."
Animal park "Westküstenpark" with "Robbarium" (area for seals at the animal park)
The West Coast Park, which covers about 14.5 hectares, promises a wonderful outing away from the beach. More than 850 species of domestic and wild animals can be observed here. A special highlight is the "Robbarium" (area for seals at the animal park).
