While Landkirchen itself is nestled inland on the island of Fehmarn, it serves as an ideal starting point for discovering some of Germany's finest Baltic Sea coastline. The island is a celebrated beach destination, offering a diverse range of shores just a short drive or bike ride away. From wide sandy expanses perfect for families to windswept spots for adventure, Fehmarn provides a complete coastal holiday experience.
Visitors will find a beach for every taste. For the classic seaside day, Südstrand is the island's most popular destination, boasting fine white sand and calm, shallow waters. In contrast, Strand Grüner Brink is a paradise for watersports, renowned as one of the country's top kitesurfing locations. For a completely different atmosphere, the dramatic coastline at Strand Katharinenhof offers impressive cliffs and scenic walks away from the main crowds.
If peace and quiet are a priority, natural beaches like Strand Gammendorf provide a tranquil escape. The island's variety extends to numerous other shores, from designated dog-friendly areas to quiet coves on the west coast.
