In the morning, a fish market operates on the Old Stream next to the train station. There are many small ships offering boat excursions in the harbor. An excursion is typically for about an hour and tickets (around 10 EUR) can be bought just before the excursion or in advance.
The ferry connecting two sides of the harbor channel is shuttling every ten to fifteen minutes, and about every half an hour after midnight. The conference hotel Hohe Düne (), located on the east side of the channel, has a large yacht marina. In the summer, there would be sailing boats from all over the Europe here. One can walk to the lighthouse at the end of the east pier and watch large ferry and cruise ships frequently passing by.
