Travemünde Beaches

Travemünde offers a distinctive seaside experience on Germany's Baltic coast, where wide sandy beaches meet the lively atmosphere of a working port. Part of the historic city of Lübeck, its unique appeal comes from the blend of a relaxing beach holiday with the maritime charm of watching large ferries and ships pass by. This constant connection to the sea gives Travemünde a character that sets it apart from more traditional coastal resorts.

The local coastline caters to every preference. For a truly scenic and wild experience, the dramatic cliff-lined coast at Strand am Brodtener Ufer is perfect for nature walks and stunning photographs. A short ferry ride across the river leads to the quieter Priwall peninsula, a natural area home to the official FKK Strand Priwall, offering a clothing-optional experience in a peaceful setting. For those seeking a more polished and upscale atmosphere, the famed Timmendorfer Strand is just a short journey away, known for its chic social scene and long promenade.

Travemünde is exceptionally welcoming for families, with the main beach featuring calm, shallow waters ideal for children. The main promenade is bustling with activity, while the beaches on the Priwall peninsula provide a more tranquil retreat surrounded by nature. With designated areas for naturism and a variety of landscapes from busy promenades to secluded dunes, there is a perfect spot for everyone.
