Workation in Westerland: the essentials
Sylt's main town faces the open North Sea from the island's west coast, with a long beach, a promenade and the hotel blocks that went up during the post-war resort boom. The Friedrichstrasse shopping street and the station, where the Marsh Railway ends after crossing the Hindenburg causeway, mark the centre. No road reaches the island, and the car shuttle from Niebüll runs on the same causeway. Sylt Airport is about 2 km away. Long-term flats are notoriously scarce, since much of the island's housing is second homes and many staff commute from the mainland. In winter the crowds thin out and the wind takes over.
