Duhnen Strand, Germany - Beach Guide, Info, Photos

Duhnen Strand is a unique beach located in Germany, known for its distinct natural characteristics. The beach is particularly noted for its tidal nature, with the water receding and advancing, allowing visitors to walk deep into the ocean, up to approximately 1 kilometer. This unique feature provides a different experience from the usual beach visit. The clear water of the beach also allows visitors to spot marine life, such as crabs. The beach is not typically used for swimming, but it is a popular spot for sunbathing, especially when the weather is clear. It is also a family-friendly location, with amenities nearby that include shops, restaurants, a playground, and toilets. Parking areas are also available for visitors. The sandy part of the beach is well-maintained, although there have been reports of dead marine life and algae growth along the coast. It is speculated that this may be due to pollution from passing cruisers or from the Elba river. Access to the beach is charged, and it features a small strip of sand, which some suggest may be imported.
