The bathing at Heligoland is the most exhilarating I have ever known. The waves rolling over so wide an expanse before they accidentally as it were touch this narrow strip of sand are thoroughly warmed – yet come with an impetus and a roar and a saltness which elsewhere can scarcely be equalled. Stand but a little way from shore, and the waves as they come in will cover you as in a cave, and break in a tumultuous passion of white salt spray over your head. I have bathed at Glücksberg and Klampenborg and Elsinore, and at other Baltic bathing-places; but at none does one come from the sea with a greater thrill of tingling, warm-pulsing pleasure than at Heligoland.
