The Sylt Aquarium opened in 2004 in the south of Westerland, directly on the dune belt. Its fresh water comes through a direct pipeline from the North Sea, and the facility specialises in North Sea fish alongside tropical coral-reef species. It holds 25 saltwater tanks with about 2,000 fish.

The facility teaches visitors about the North Sea environment through displays of animals from local waters and distant tropical regions. Seeing these creatures side by side helps people understand how different marine habitats work.

The facility is within walking distance from Westerland hotels and easily accessible to visitors. Expect wet floors near the tanks and allow time to move through each section at a comfortable pace.

The glass tunnel runs beneath one of the 25 saltwater tanks, letting visitors walk under the fish rather than beside them. The aquarium's fresh water arrives through a direct pipe from the North Sea, so the tanks are supplied from the water surrounding Westerland.
