The municipality, in figures

The municipality

Oevenum is a small municipality measuring 5 by 7 kilometres. With 462 inhabitants it is of medium density (41 per square kilometre). It has a coastline, and that matters: the strip of maritime-terrestrial public domain is governed by its own rule, different from that of the rest of the municipality. Within its boundaries there are 2 protected areas, including NTP S-H Wattenmeer und angrenzende Küstengebiete. There, the rules on permitted uses are set by each area's own plan. It borders 6 municipalities, and the answer may change on crossing any of those lines.

On the beach the answer is no even if the municipality is permissive: the prohibition is national and needs no sign.
