Haven Lauwersoog

Haven Lauwersoog is the main harbor of Lauwersoog, a small fishing village on the northern coast of the Netherlands. It serves as the primary access point for the Nieuwe Robbengat, a former tidal channel now integrated into the freshwater Lauwersmeer.

The harbor sits adjacent to the ferry terminal that connects the mainland to Schiermonnikoog Island and the broader Wadden Sea.

The port functions as both a working fishing harbor and a recreational marina, with capacity for around 150 fishing trawlers as well as berths for chartered vessels.

Its favorable position near the Danish coast and the German Bight has long made it a strategic base for fishing operations. A fish auction, fish wholesalers, and a floating dry dock for trawler repairs are among the port's working facilities.

For outdoor visitors, Haven Lauwersoog is a convenient trailhead for hiking and cycling routes into the surrounding natural area, including the gentle loop along the Nieuwe Robbengat.

Buses from Groningen and Leeuwarden stop close to the harbor, and parking is available at the marina and ferry terminal.
