Borkum with your dog
Plan together before booking
Check whether your accommodation welcomes dogs and under which conditions. Then review the ferry operator’s pet rules and pack water, a familiar blanket and time for breaks. Plan island walks at your dog’s pace. A short outing followed by a quiet rest may be better than a long day on the beach.
Prepare your journeyChoose the right beach area
Borkum has designated dog beaches at Nordbad, Südbad and near the naturist beach. Consult the official map for exact locations. Leash requirements, conservation periods and permitted areas vary; follow current signs and national park rules. Carry waste bags and use the provided bins so shared paths and beaches stay pleasant for everyone.
