Main image

Langli is a small tidal salt-marsh island in Ho Bay in the Wadden Sea off the southwest coast of Jutland, Denmark. It is a low-lying, predominantly marshy island important for breeding and resting seabirds and waders.

The island’s surface is mainly salt meadows and mudflats that are submerged or exposed with the tides; it offers limited visitor facilities and is managed for nature conservation. Visits typically focus on birdwatching and guided walks under strict access rules to avoid disturbing nesting birds.

Langli sits in the Ho Bay area of the Wadden Sea near the Danish mainland and the town of Esbjerg is the nearest larger town on Jutland’s west coast. The island is reached only at low tide on foot or by guided transfer and is surrounded by tidal flats and coastal channels.

  • Tidal access and protection: Access across tidal flats is possible at low tide but the island is a protected bird reserve and landings are restricted or controlled.
