Harlesiel, Seaside resort in Wittmund, Germany.
The Harlesiel harbor consists of two sections divided by a pumping station that regulates water levels and functions as a lock for sea passage.
Established in 1956 during the Harlebucht drainage project, Harlesiel developed from a small coastal settlement into a northern German maritime destination.
The resort maintains East Frisian maritime traditions through its active harbor, where fishing boats dock alongside recreational vessels throughout the year.
Regular ferry services connect Harlesiel to the island of Wangerooge, while the resort offers beach facilities, saltwater pools, and camping areas for visitors.
The former railway station building has been repurposed into a ferry terminal, serving as a departure point for North Sea island exploration.
