Active and dynamic: the sandy beach in Scharbeutz
The beach in Scharbeutz boasts a stretch of fine sand and crystal-clear water that has attracted many celebrities from film, television and music, who you may well bump into here in the summer months.
In Scharbeutz you can not only enjoy the sun, there is also a lot to try out here. The promenade invites you to stroll and linger, as there are souvenir stalls and cafés everywhere that are hard to pass by. All in all, a very family-friendly beach with lots of playgrounds and, of course, the option of hiring beach chairs.

Quiet and away from the crowds: Niendorf beach
Niendorf beach attracts visitors with its idyllic charm and unique atmosphere. Of course, Niendorf harbor alone is an absolute must-see destination, but here we are looking at Niendorf's stone beach, which lies further south towards Brodten Bay. This is really something special and, above all, very quiet, which should appeal to anyone looking for peace and quiet.
The smooth, colorful stones that can be found here in masses simply want to be collected or stacked into towers. These balanced towers can be found piled up everywhere as you walk along the beach and they ensure that you can simply forget about everyday life while stacking the stones.
Impressive and adventurous - Brodten Bay
The Brodten cliffs in the beautiful Brodten Bay are also a true jewel of the German Baltic Sea coast and a great destination for the whole family. Its majestic cliffs rise up to 20 meters above the blue sea and offer breathtaking views of the coast and the sea.
A special insider tip is the vantage point on Hermannshöhe, from where you can enjoy an incomparable panoramic view of the entire bay.
The view makes up for the strenuous climb. Once you reach the top, it's wonderful to sit back and enjoy the beauty of nature to the full. On the way along the coast, there are always small viewpoints that make great photo hotspots. However, the paths are not always safe, which is why you should be particularly careful, especially if you are traveling with children.
The Erlebniscafé Hermannshöhe is a worthwhile destination after a long exploration or bike tour and offers a wide variety of culinary delights to complement the fantastic view. You can watch the boats go by over a coffee and a slice of cake and relax at the end of the day. Discover the Brodten Bay with its unique cliffs.
Dog-friendly and close to nature - Sierksdorf cliffs
The cliffs of Sierksdorf impress with their steep cliffs and beautiful views of the sea. The striking coastal formation is a true natural wonder between Sierksdorf and Neustadt in Holstein that casts a spell over visitors. A walk along the cliffs is an unforgettable experience.
The beach stretches for many kilometers, so you can walk the entire length of the beach from Neustadt to Sierksdorf. There are only a few rough sections to negotiate. But, whether along the fields, through the forest sections or directly on the beach, here on the cliffs you can simply take a deep breath and, if necessary, find a place in nature to enjoy your time with a good book on the beach or a delicious picnic.
The Sierksdorf cliffs are a protected natural monument and are home to numerous rare plant and animal species that can be explored.
