💡 Tips

  • Rent a traditional beach basket (Strandkorb) for protection against the Baltic Sea breeze; reserve in advance during peak season.
  • Central parking is expensive and fills up fast; use the large car parks at the edges of town.
  • A walk on the 290-meter-long pier (Seebrücke) is most rewarding early in the morning or at sunset.
  • The resort tax card (Ostseecard) is mandatory and often checked at the beach; it also provides local discounts.
