Wyk auf Föhr (Fering North Frisian: Wik, a Wik, or Bi a Wik; Danish: Vyk på Før) is the only town on Föhr, the second largest of the North Frisian Islands on the German coast of the North Sea. It, together with the other parts of Föhr, belongs to the district of Nordfriesland. Wyk is a popular seaside resort. The port of Föhr, the harbour and Föhr marina are in Wyk. Wyk and the island are accessible by a car-ferry connecting the mainland port of Dagebüll and Wyk ferry port (approximately 10-12 sailings a day). There also are frequent car-ferry services to the neighbouring island of Amrum and seasonal pedestrian ferries to Heligoland, Sylt and the Halligen.
