Cuxhaven is situated at a great vantage point for warm breezes from the Wadden Sea which is a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site; as a visitor, you can enjoy a year round pleasant climate. Its seaside locale also means that it is home to a fine range of world class fish dishes which you can find at one of the many restaurants and bistros that dot the streets. Be sure to sample the crab in particular.

Aside from these culinary explorations, hikers and walkers can also explore the surrounding countryside by hiking or walking through the Abmarschzeit Neuwerk to the mainland and also along the Coast. With other health and well-being opportunities close-by, those in need of recharging their batteries can take full advantage. Additionally, there are many opportunities for biking around the scenic countryside. Occasionally, the town puts on shows in traditional German dress which are also of interest to tourists.
