Villas in Dagebüll
Dagebüll suits visitors who want a quiet dike-side base for day trips by ferry to Föhr and Amrum. Fewer than a thousand people live in the municipality, and the port is the draw rather than the village.

About Dagebüll
Dagebüll sits at 3 metres above sea level on the Schleswig-Holstein coast. The municipality was formed in 1978 from Fahretoft, Juliane-Marien-Koog and Waygaard, and our homes are spread over several kilometres around the polder rather than in one centre. The church district lies in the middle of the polder, and Dagebüll Hafen is about 3 km west at the shoreline, where the Föhr and Amrum ferries leave. At the port there is a dike beach with showers and a changing hut, a promenade of coloured bathing huts, and a hotel restaurant on the dike by the ferry landing. The water here is the Wadden Sea, and Föhr has the long sandy beach. Most homes sleep around four, most have a sauna and a fireplace, and none have a pool. Out of season the village is very small.
Is Dagebüll right for you?
- Best for
- Island day trips and quiet dike walks
- Not for you if
- You want a beach town with shops and evenings out, because the port is mostly a departure point.

Getting to Dagebüll

When to go to Dagebüll
Summer brings the ferry traffic and the dike beach season, when adults pay for beach entry. Dagebüll is on the Wadden Sea, so check conditions before planning a swim. Outside summer the village is very small and the port is the only real activity, so the sauna and fireplace in most homes are the attraction.

Dagebüll villa holidays: questions answered
How long is the ferry from Dagebüll to Föhr?
About 50 minutes. The boat passes the Halligen on the way through the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park, and it leaves from Dagebüll Hafen, about 3 km west of the church district.
Is Dagebüll good for a beach holiday?
Only a modest one. Dagebüll has a dike beach with showers and a changing hut, and adults pay in the season. It sits on the Wadden Sea, and the long sandy beach is across the water on Föhr, south of Wyk.
Can you take a dog to the beach in Dagebüll?
Yes, there is a dog beach, but dogs must be on a lead. The main dike beach charges adults during the season, while children go free.
Do you need a car in Dagebüll?
A car is the practical choice, because homes are spread across the polder villages around Dagebüll. You can still leave it at the Inselparkplatz and take the free shuttle bus to the ferry landing for island trips.
What is Dagebüll best known for?
It is mainly known as the ferry port for Föhr and Amrum. The area was once a Hallig, diked in the early 1700s, and the Kleisee Polder of 1727 finally joined it to the mainland.
