💡 Tips
- The Wohlenberger Wiek has very shallow, warm waters excellent for wading, but you have to walk far to actually swim.
- A wind-proof jacket is a must on the Baltic coast, regardless of the season.
- Rent a Strandkorb (hooded beach chair) to protect yourself from the persistent sea breeze.
- Bring cash; many smaller coastal vendors and beach kiosks still don't accept cards.
- Check local weather apps frequently, as wind directions can change rapidly.
