Schulauer Strand is a popular beach located in the city of Wedel, within the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. It is situated between Schulauer Hafen and Tonnenhafen and offers a scenic view of the Elbe River. The shoreline is sandy and is complemented by a large green area along the dike, making it a perfect spot for relaxation.
The beach is known for its natural beauty, with the presence of a shaded playground for children adding to its appeal. Visitors can also view large ships leaving the Hamburg Harbor from the beach. However, it is important to note that the beach may be temporarily closed due to certain circumstances such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
Schulauer Strand also features a Beachclub and a rescue station managed by the DLRG (German Lifeguard Association). However, it is important to note that the beach does not permit dogs on its premises. In contrast, the other beach in Wedel, located east of Willkomm Höft and at the foot of the Elbwanderweg (Elbe hiking trail), allows dogs and offers more space for playing and walking.
Visitors are reminded to maintain cleanliness at the beach. There are numerous trash bins available along the Elbwanderweg for waste disposal. These bins are emptied regularly to ensure the cleanliness of the beach. Additional trash bins can be found in the area of Willkomm Höft. Visitors are urged not to leave any waste on the beach, including party leftovers.
Despite its popularity, the beach does not offer any specific parking facilities. Information on how to reach the beach is not readily available. The crowd level at the beach varies, but it is generally not overly crowded, offering a peaceful environment for visitors.
