Surfstrand Steinhuder Meer is a popular beach known for its natural stretch of sand and water. It is a preferred spot for water sports enthusiasts, particularly windsurfers and kiteboarders. The beach is characterized by its standing depth, which is almost everywhere, making it an ideal location for these activities. However, the surrounding trees often block the wind, making take-off and landing a bit challenging, especially for beginners.
The beach is often crowded, particularly during the autumn season, even when there are hardly any bathers left. Despite the crowd, the further upwind you go on the water, the more space you usually have to sail undisturbed. The beach's location is also appreciated for its tranquility, making it a suitable spot for relaxation. It is also pet-friendly, accommodating even small dogs.
Best restaurants near Surfstrand Steinhuder Meer include Strandhotel Weißer Berg, Wave Cult and Alte Moorhütte.
Visitor reviews highlight the beach's appeal to windsurfers and kiteboarders, with its natural stretch and standing depth almost everywhere being particularly appreciated. The quiet location is also enjoyed by visitors, including those with pets. However, complaints are made about the beach often being crowded, with suggestions for the municipality to open another beach for surfers and kiters, and to move the take-off and landing zone further from the shore.
Visitors to Surfstrand Steinhuder Meer often stay in the nearby towns of Steinhude and Mardorf, which offer a range of accommodations from charming guesthouses to modern hotels.
