Warnemünde Beach
Strand Warnemünde
One of the widest white sand beaches on Germany's Baltic coast, over 100 meters wide in places. Rows of striped beach chairs line the sand, and from the West Breakwater you can walk out into the sea to watch ships.
Warnemünde Beach stretches for several kilometers west from the lighthouse. At its widest point, it is about 150 meters across. The fine white sand is covered with the German-style beach wicker chairs with canopies, which can be rented by the day. Lifeguards are on duty in summer. The sea is rather cool, with water temperatures around 18 to 20 degrees Celsius from June to August. Walk along the West Breakwater (Westmole) to the small green lighthouse at its end for close-up views of large cruise ships and ferries entering and leaving the port. From Rostock, take the S-Bahn for about 20 minutes.
