💡 Tips

  • You need a 'Kurabgabe' (tourist tax pass) to access the main beach during the summer; buy it from machines or your accommodation.
  • Always pack a windbreaker, even in July or August, as the Baltic Sea breezes can be surprisingly chilly.
  • Rent a bike to explore the scenic coastal path (Ostseeküstenradweg) that runs directly through the area.
  • If you want to try kite surfing, the local water sports center gives gear rentals and lessons right on the beach.
  • Parking near the beach is paid and fills up quickly on sunny weekends; arrive before 10 AM.
