Zinnowitz is a quintessential German beach destination on the Baltic Sea island of Usedom. Its coastline is defined by long stretches of fine, white sand that slope gently into the calm sea, making it an especially popular choice for families. Visitors contribute to the upkeep of the pristine beaches and promenades through a local visitor's tax, ensuring the area remains beautiful for all who come to relax and enjoy the seaside atmosphere.
The main town beach, Zinnowitz, serves as the lively heart of the resort, complete with a historic pier and a unique diving gondola for underwater views. For a change of scenery, the famous "Imperial Baths" offer a glimpse into a grander past. Strand Heringsdorf is celebrated for its elegant villas and is home to the longest pier in Germany, while the beautiful shoreline at Bansin marks the beginning of the island's stunning cliff coast.
Compared to the stately Imperial Baths, Zinnowitz offers a more relaxed and casual environment. For those seeking even more tranquility, Strand Zempin provides a peaceful escape at Usedom's smallest seaside resort, living up to its reputation as a true hidden gem. A wider variety of beaches, from bustling resorts to quiet natural shores, can be discovered in our complete guide.
