Wadden

The Wadden (I am not actually sure of which name to use in English) is a coastal region stretching from the north-west of the Netherlands through Germany to the west of Denmark. It consists of the Wadden Sea, large parts of which fall dry during low tide, and the Wadden islands[?], a string of islands that shields this sea from the North Sea.

The Wadden are very similar to what is called the Outer Banks[?] of North Carolina, off the east coast of the US
