Beaches in Travemünde
Beach life the way it‘s meant to be
Explore the sunny side of the resort – barefoot and with your beach towel under your arm! In Travemünde, you will find fine sandy beaches, some highly fashionable, on the broad beach promenade, and others tranquil, hidden behind softly undulating dunes. Resort life is never more beautiful than with your feet in the sand and the sun on your head. Find your favourite spot by the sea! For your perfect beach holiday in Travemünde.
If you want to have the beach to yourself, plan your visit for the early morning hours or the blue hour in the evening.
Kurstrand (spa beach) – Travemünde’s top address
Travemünde’s Kurstrand is right beside the wide Strandpromenade (beach promenade) and forms the centrepiece of the resort. Where the Trave enters the Baltic Sea and the Nordermole jetty with its green-and-white beacon juts out into the sea, Kurstrand extends as far as the eye can see. And every year, a little fine sand is added: washed down from the steep coast of Brodten which borders the Kurstrand to the north. As wide as a football pitch at its widest point, there is enough room here for all those who like to lie in the sun, build sandcastles or engage in sporting activities. Start with a little yoga on the beach at sunrise, exhaust yourself playing beach volleyball, risk a leap into the refreshing waves and feel the salt water drying on your skin when sunbathing!
Incidentally
In 2013, Travemünde’s beaches were awarded the red banner for their safety by the International Life Saving Federation of Europe (ILSE).

Priwall – a beach on the peninsula
The peninsula at the mouth of the River Trave offers a varied landscape. To the south, on the Pötenitzer Wiek, lies a nature reserve, while the northern Priwall features a typically North German coastal landscape with dunes and beach. The wide beach, with its gentle dunes and adjacent woodland, offers plenty of space to relax away from the bustle of the lively seaside resort. Here, the beach slopes gently into the shallow water – ideal for a relaxing swim and popular with families with young children.
A boat ride, that’s fun
You can easily cross over to Priwall from Travemünde’s mainland by taking the ferry. You can either take the passenger ferry on foot or take your car on the car ferry.
Incidentally
You can also hire a beach chair on the natural beach on Priwall.
Dog beaches in Travemünde
You can experience a wonderful holiday by the sea together with your four-legged friend on the dog beaches in Travemünde. Enjoy the wind and the waves together, long walks on the beach and a sea full of adventures.
Two dog beaches in Travemünde
In Travemünde, the two dog beaches invite owners and their dogs to swim, dig and play together all year round. Right after the northern Kurstrand beach on the steep coast of Brodten (Söhrmanndamm area, first 100 m after the former Mövenstein swimming pool), the dog beach invites guests to take a relaxed stroll and frolic over the extensive Strandpromenade. A bathing platform for dogs here ensures that dogs can enjoy their swim as the platform takes them safely over the boulders piled up to act as a breakwater. And on Priwall at the Südermole jetty (first 100 m from the landing stage for the passenger ferry), dogs are also welcome on the beach.
Remember: As for the other beaches, a beach usage fee is charged per person on the dog beach on Priwall during the season.
The beach at Brodtener Ufer, on the other hand, is generally free of charge.

Nudist beaches in Travemünde - topless and bottomless.
Naturism in Germany has a long tradition and developed around 1900 in connection with the Lebensreform movement. Spending time outdoors and adopting a more relaxed attitude towards the human body were among the ideas associated with the movement.
There are also two designated nudist beach areas in Travemünde where you can swim and sunbathe without swimwear. Travemünde has many different sides, combining its historic seaside resort tradition with a relaxed North German atmosphere. Spend your holiday in a traditional beach chair on the main resort beach or enjoy the two designated nudist beach areas.
Designated nudist areas can be found near the Brodtener Steilufer behind the yacht club and on the eastern beach of the Priwall. There are also small dunes on the Priwall that are often used as places to relax.
