Sankt Peter-Ording is a very popular German seaside resort and a municipality in the district of Nordfriesland, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It is situated on the North Sea coast, on the western tip of the Eiderstedt peninsula, approx. 45 km southwest of Husum. Sankt Peter-Ording is the seaside resort with the highest number of tourists of all German seaside resorts including the ones on the coast of the Baltic Sea.[citation needed] The beach is very wide and flat with as much as 1-2 Km from the edge of the dunes to the sea. That it is so flat and smooth has made it a popular site for sail-racing, a sport similar to wind-surfing but on wheels. There are several elevated walkways through the dunes giving access to the beach. A large section of the beach is "FKK" or clothing-optional. A central location on the beach offers an elevated Gasthaus . (restaurant)with indoor and outdoor tables. A series of webcams offer views around the scene at http://www.st.peter-ording-nordsee.de/webcams.html. The seafood offered in the town is superb.
