Strand Warnemünde (Warnemunde Beach), Rostock

The history of Warnemunde dates back to 1323 when Rostock acquired this former fishing village, ensuring free access to the sea. Visitors can conveniently reach Warnemünde Beach by taking the S-Bahn from the center of Rostock, with a short travel time of approximately 20 minutes.

Warnemunde Beach boasts a fine, sandy shoreline that stretches over two kilometers in length and reaches a maximum width of 200 meters. This expansive beach offers ample space for sunbathing, leisurely walks, and various recreational activities. The beach features shallow access to the water, making it ideal for families with children. Visitors can enjoy safe swimming and water play, and the gentle slope into the sea ensures a gradual transition from the shore.

The beach is organized into 24 sections, extending from Westmole to the Stoltera cliffs. Many of these sections are equipped with traditional beach chairs, which are characteristic of Baltic Sea beaches. For added comfort and convenience, consider renting a Strandkorb, a unique covered structure that provides shelter and secure storage for personal belongings while you enjoy the beach. Strandkörbe are iconic beach features commonly found along the Baltic Sea coastline.

Towards the end of the beach, you'll encounter sections 18 to 22 designated as the "FKK" area, which stands for "Freikörperkultur" or naturist/nudist culture. This is a typical feature of German beaches, and visitors should be aware that nudity is common in this specific area.
