💡 Tips

  • Take a ride in the 'Tauchgondel' (diving gondola) at the end of the pier to see the Baltic Sea's underwater world without getting wet.
  • For a great photo opportunity and panoramic view, walk up to the cliffs ('Steilküste') located just south of the marina.
  • The Ostseecard (resort tax card) gives you free beach access and discounts at many attractions, including the Grömitzer Welle swimming complex.
  • Rent a bike and cycle north to the Lensterstrand area, a nature reserve with dunes and a much quieter atmosphere.

Grömitz Marina (Yachthafen)

In the early morning or late evening, a stroll along the docks of the marina is very peaceful, watching the boats bob in the water.

Grömitz is located on the Wagrien peninsula and has a tradition of over 200 years as a seaside resort. Its 3.5-kilometer beach promenade is one of the longest in Germany, featuring numerous sculptures, gardens, and eateries. The landmark is the 398-meter-long pier, at the end of which a diving gondola takes visitors beneath the waves of the Baltic Sea while staying dry. The town is particularly family-friendly, offering activities such as the 'Arche Noah' zoo and the 'Kraxelmaxel' climbing park. For sailors, the modern marina with over 700 berths provides top-tier infrastructure. The beach faces south, granting Grömitz an exceptionally high number of sunshine hours. The surrounding landscape is first-rate for bike tours to the Cismar Abbey or along the steep cliffs of Bliesdorf.
