Borkum

The island of Borkum is one of the seven East Frisian Islands off the coast of Eastern Friesland. It is not only the largest but also the westernmost one. Therefore, it’s geographically actually closer to the Netherlands than to the German mainland.

The seals have this tip of the sandbar to themselves – but they can be observed from the beach. Actually, they are only about one kilometer away and are easy to spot. Here in Second Life, you can be right next to them.

I am not sure if the creator of this sim had the island of the real-life Borkum in mind. This is a nice photogenic place to hang out at. Whether you come here alone or with someone you will find many opportunities to take pictures. This is the next best thing to the real place for sure.

The real-life Borkum is the perfect island for sunbathing, beach sports & leisure, and culture and excitement and you will find this here in Second Life as well. You don't have to take the ferryboat to get here, all you have to do is teleport right in. 

I recommend you give it a visit and relax in the fresh air and listen to the sound of the seagulls and the crashing waves. If you really use your imagination you can smell the salty air. 

It is springtime here and nothing could be more beautiful than the blooming fields of flowers contrasting with the sandy beaches.

Here are some more facts about the real Borkum: 

After the whaling came to an end in 1782, Borkum was impoverished. Consequently, many islanders left to look for work on the mainland.
In 1834, though, the first bathers came to the island. Ever since then, tourism has been Borkum’s most important economic sector. Therefore, during the high season, it attracts even seasonal workers from the mainland.
However, Borkum’s about 5,200 inhabitants owe their outcome almost completely to tourism.

I am off to the next adventure of places to explore. Happy teleporting!!!
