Weather-wise, the Frisia Coast Trail can be hiked in any season — it simply depends on your preferences. See our page Weather for more information about temperatures, rain, wind, and (more) rain.
Another factor to consider is the holiday season. In summer, the beaches and Wadden Sea islands are very busy with tourists from the four ‘trail countries’ — Belgium, Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands — as well as from elsewhere in Europe and beyond. Finding a place at a campsite or securing accommodation in hotels, B&Bs, guesthouses, converted churches, and similar lodging can be difficult without advance planning. See also our blog post Lodging Etiquette in Ostfriesland. Land of the First Legally Blondes for tips and tricks on what to do when no hotel or campsite has space. And be aware: staying in guesthouses along the trail is not without its risks — see our blog post The Women of Anjum, Who Make Hard Men Humble.
If you plan to hike through the dune areas and the wet salt marshes along the coast, be aware that access to these nature reserves is restricted during the bird breeding season, typically from mid-March to mid-July.
