Cuxhaven - Beach impressions

March weather really got us which unfortunately meant a bunch of rain.
However, luckily at least three times we were able to enjoy the beach a little bit.
The first day wasn't that nice actually - rainy and really windy which meant the rain just got you nearly everywhere - but I desperately wanted to go and collect seashells, so I decided to just ignore the weather. Plus point - nobody was at the beach, my Dad and I had the whole sand nearly alone for us and found some really nice seashells and even some oyster shells.
We walked nearly until the end of the beach which is marked by the "Kugelbake", a wooden tower which marks one side of the entrance way of the ships which want to go to Cuxhaven or further along to Hamburg. Finally though the weather won - we were freezing and decided to go back home to enjoy a nice hot coffee.

On Friday, the weather turned out to be better than the forecast, so after my short back massage (still super tense so I spontaneously booked one) we went to the beach a second time, this time all three of us.
Today the sun was out but it was very stormy. This didn't stop us though and we walked onto the sand where the wind created a really beautiful atmosphere by blowing the sand at high speeds towards the north. It looked amazing. The wind was so strong that I could stand on the sand and lean back without falling over. The waves were wonderful to watch and on the beach, the wind had formed interesting patterns in the sand. No seashells to be found this time though, but I saw a bunch of birds searching for food.
After reaching the "Kugelbake" we had a good view on the oncoming ships and there indeed were two big ones to be seen.
The only tougher part was going back to the car as the wind this time was blowing directly against us so you constantly got sand in your face and eyes and had to use a lot of strength to walk against the wind. But definitely worth it!

After an amazing breakfast at a cute little coffee place downtown, we passed by the beach a last time to say goodbye to the sea. Great timing as we saw another huge container ship passing by which was a special sight to see from the sandy shores.
