About Tossens
Tossens has a tourist area on the Jade Bay coast and an original village further inland, with the warft church of St. Bartholomäus. Strandallee runs straight from the main road to the dyke and the sea, the Piratenstrand has plenty for children to play on, and the Strandhalle at the end of the groyne serves lunch and dinner. The coast here is dyke and silty mudflat, so the tide decides when the sea is usable. The homes are packed into one small area, mostly for four, with no private pools or gardens, though many have a fireplace. Evenings mean a few pubs near the beach, and the lights go out around midnight.

Can you swim in the sea at Tossens?
Only sometimes. The Butjadingen coast is dyke and silty mudflat, so sea swimming depends on the tide. The Nordsee-Lagune at Fedderwardersiel is a built saltwater bathing lake with a sandy beach if you want dependable water.
Is there a train to Tossens?
No. The nearest rail stop is Nordenham, then a bus covers the rest. Most visitors drive along the coastal road L 859 instead.
Is Tossens good for cycling?
Yes. The land is flat, Butjadingen has about 250 km of signposted routes, the dyke makes an easy ride, and bikes of every kind, from children's bikes to pedal carriages, can be rented in town.
Are there mudflat walks from Tossens?
Yes, and they are recommended, but they need care because the tide comes in faster than people expect. One Wadden Sea hike starts at Eckwarderhörne, and walks should be planned around tide times.
