Strand Glücksburg is a picturesque beach situated in the Ostseeheilbad Glücksburg region. It extends over 18 kilometers, providing ample space for beachgoers to engage in various activities. This beach is particularly popular with sailors due to its proximity to the Flensburger Förde and the "Dänische Südsee".
The beach is divided into several sections, each offering unique characteristics and amenities. Sandwig, a semi-circular bay area in the Glücksburger Kurzentrum, is known for its white sand and shallow waters, making it ideal for swimming and diving. This section is family-friendly as it features multiple playgrounds and activities for children. Visitors can also rent beach chairs, including those that are wheelchair-accessible.
The section known as Holnis wraps around a large portion of the Holnis peninsula. Its eastern and northern coasts are characterized by long stretches of sandy beach. The Kurstrand area on the peninsula's southern coast is geared towards water activities, with offerings such as pedal boats and water slides. Modern beach chairs are available for relaxation, and the sandy area is perfect for building sandcastles.
A nudist beach (FKK) is located a few hundred meters north of the textile beach in Holnis. Additionally, there are designated areas on the Holnis peninsula beach where dogs are permitted, along with a large dog forest nearby for off-leash activities.
For those interested in water sports, a surf beach is situated north of the Kurstrand and FKK beach. This area provides ample space for a variety of activities such as kiteboarding, surfing, and stand-up paddleboarding. A surf school is also present, offering courses and equipment rental.
Strand Glücksburg is renowned for its cleanliness and tranquil atmosphere, making it a popular destination during the summer months. A playground complements the beach, further enhancing its appeal for families. However, visitors should be aware that there are mandatory access fees for entry to the beach.
