- Park at the green beach, but be aware of parking fees during high season.
- Always bring a windbreaker; it can get chilly on the dike even in summer.
- Dogs must be kept on a leash due to the sheep on the dike and national park rules.

Buy fresh shrimp (Krabben) straight from the cutters in the small harbor.
Grab a fresh fish sandwich from the kiosks along the dike.
Drink a traditional East Frisian tea with rock candy and cream in a cafe behind the dike.

Spieka-Neufeld is a characterful coastal village situated in the Cuxhaven district on the North Sea coast of Germany. This tranquil destination is profoundly shaped by the unique environment of the Wadden Sea, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Visitors come here to escape the fast-paced modern world and immerse themselves in the raw, natural beauty of the tidal flats and expansive horizons. The main coastal attraction is the Badestrand Spieka-Neufeld, a delightful green beach area. Instead of traditional sand, this beach features lush grassy expanses where visitors can relax in classic German Strandkörbe (beach chairs). When the tide is high, the waters are great for a refreshing swim. When the tide goes out, it reveals the fascinating mudflats, inviting guests to participate in guided mudflat hiking (Wattwanderung), a quintessential North German experience. The small harbor nearby is photogenic and often dotted with traditional crab-fishing boats. The local gastronomy relies heavily on the daily catch, meaning visitors must try fresh Krabbenbrötchen (shrimp rolls). The area is easily accessible by car and features excellent cycling routes along the dikes.
