What Sea is in Germany

A seaside holiday in Germany usually means rather cool locations — the shores of the Baltic and North Seas. However, according to reviews, beach vacations during the warmer months are excellent here.

Most German seaside resorts are located on islands. However, some can be found on the mainland coast as well. For example, the resort of Prerow on the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula is considered one of the best places in Germany for a family beach holiday. It boasts a luxurious beach that is 5 kilometers long and 80 meters wide, with a gentle slope into the sea. Almost all German coastal resorts have a rich history. In Prerow, Germans have been coming for sea and sun for over 130 years.

Beach Holidays in Germany

Another popular beach holiday destination in Germany is the island of Usedom. It is known for having the longest promenade in Europe and has been a popular spot since the 20th century.

Among beach holiday tours in Germany, the most expensive and at the same time the most popular are the islands of Rügen and Sylt. The German elite often vacation here. Meanwhile, the beaches of Hiddensee Island are beloved by retirees and families with children due to the gentle entry into the sea and calm waters. The same goes for the beach in Timmendorfer Strand, which has a separate fenced area for kids. There are also designated areas for nudist beaches and for visitors with dogs.
