Neuharlingersiel

Neuharlingersiel is a coastal settlement in Lower Saxony featuring an active fishing harbor, sandy beaches, and buildings in traditional East Frisian style. The town sits just above sea level and opens onto the Wadden Sea.

First recorded in 1693, the settlement grew from a small fishing village into a recognized coastal health resort over time. This transformation reflected the broader development of the North Sea coast.

The place is defined by its maritime character, visible in the harbor areas and traditional buildings throughout the town. Visitors can experience this connection to the sea in how locals use the space and through the regional architecture.

The town center is easily walkable and has restaurants serving fresh North Sea fish. Regular ferry connections depart from the harbor to nearby islands, making day trips convenient.

The town served as the filming location for Doktor Martin, a German television adaptation of the British series. Local harbor scenes and regional architecture shaped the look of the show.
