Latest reviews on Potsdam's beaches

Wannsee Beach
10 turin

The lakefront beach is truly lovely. The admission fee of 5.5 euros per person is quite reasonable. Additionally, you have the option to rent a beach chair for 8 euros, accommodating two people. The sand is incredibly soft, and the water surprisingly shallow. It's an ideal spot to unwind over the weekend before returning to work on Monday. It does tend to get busier on weekends, so I suggest arriving in the morning to secure a beach chair if desired. If you're interested, there is also a food establishment and a giant chess set available. All in all, it's a fantastic location.

Seebad Caputh

This place is improving over time. It is comfortable and well-organized. The staff is extremely friendly! The water may not be the clearest, but it's still alright. I only gave it 3 stars because when we went with our family, there was nothing at the restaurant for kids. Not even ice cream. They only offered spaghetti with oil, which was disappointing. Furthermore, it is quite expensive, so considering the price of the services and entrance, they should include more appealing options on the menu for the little ones.

Ketziner Havelstrand

We took a trip to Ketzin for a short getaway and had a wonderful time. It was exactly what we were looking for in terms of a peaceful and enjoyable tourist experience. We had a great time boating on the Havel, indulging in a delicious meal at a lovely restaurant in the evening, and taking a leisurely stroll along the Havel promenade. Ketzin is the perfect destination for those who prefer a more intimate and authentic tourism experience, rather than the crowded and commercialized options. I am already looking forward to returning in the future. 🥰

Waldbad Templin

The swimming area is very laid-back and comfortable. It is well-maintained, roomy, and has excellent facilities for children such as a water slide, swings, and seesaws. My daughter quickly made friends with another girl to play with, and I can already tell that it will be a challenge to convince them that the place closes at 8pm.

This beautiful beach is a hidden gem. Exploring on a bike will lead you to discover some cozy spots along the way. It's definitely a great place for families. Be cautious of unexpected deep areas in the water. Weekdays are the perfect time to visit, as weekends tend to get crowded.
