Small, solitary lighthouse on the sandy Düne island offers clean coastal compositions: tower against dunes, wide North Sea horizons, seabirds and seals. Reachable by short ferry from Heligoland; Düne is car-free and best at sunrise or late golden hour for warm light and long shadows. Summer is busy with day-trippers; windproof clothing recommended. Tower may be closed—plan for exterior shots. Bring filters for long exposures and waterproof protection for spray.
