Gollwitzer Strand

Gollwitzer Strand is a sandy beach situated in the coastal region of Gollwitz, near the town of Wismar. It is known for its shallow water, making it a popular destination for families with children. The beach is not typically crowded, providing a tranquil atmosphere for visitors. The natural characteristics of Gollwitzer Strand include its clean and tidy appearance. Efforts are made to ensure the cleanliness of the beach, including the removal of seaweed before the start of the season. However, at times, the presence of algae and muddy silt may be apparent. An added attraction for nature enthusiasts is the nearby Langenwerder bird sanctuary island, which is visible from the beach. This allows visitors the opportunity to observe rare bird species even while lounging on the beach. For additional entertainment, the beach features a small adventure playground designed like a stranded pirate ship and a volleyball net. Despite these amenities, it should be noted that there is no lifeguard on duty due to the shallow water at the beach. There are facilities on site for the convenience of visitors. These include a small kiosk for refreshments and sanitary facilities. However, it's important to note that the beach is not dog-friendly, though a designated beach for dogs is located nearby. Parking is available at the entrance to the town, though it is subject to a fee. Visitors should be aware that driving directly to the beach may pose challenges due to the deep sand. To gain access to the beach, visitors are required to have either a spa card or a day pass. The journey from Wismar to Gollwitzer Strand is particularly noteworthy for its scenic beauty.
