[edit] Geography
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.
