Latest reviews on Germany's beaches

Saalburg Beach
6 Daniel McDowell

The beach has a convenient location with easy access to the lake and is not far from the town. Additionally, there is a beach bar available on site. However, the overall atmosphere of the place resembles more of a festival-style campsite. There are also people from the car park next to the campsite, and the area lacks greenery as it is just a field. It can be quite noisy unless you manage to find a spot farther away from the lake. The price seems high considering the amenities provided, and the showers and toilets are very basic. I suppose this beach would be ideal for groups who want to park their vehicles next to each other.

Blackfoot Beach
8 Akki

Winter Wonderland was absolutely stunning! The high ropes course provided a great deal of enjoyment. However, it would be helpful if the entrance was more clearly marked. We were unsure that we needed to use the beach entrance.

Badewiese Eichwalde

There is a spacious playground available with volleyball facilities, and it's not too crowded today.

The dog beach isn't very large and is separated from the adjacent beach by a fence. The shoreline is densely covered with reeds and other water plants. Our dog had a great time running around and enjoyed taking a dip in the lake to cool off!

Massive Algenverschmutzung schon das 3. Jahr Baden kaum möglich , Stinkt heftig Bedenklich für Kinder

Please note that lifeguards supervise 103 beaches in the country, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

Do you know how many beaches there are in Germany? In total there are 437 beaches and the most popular is Wannsee Beach.
