This beach in Kiel is one of the best around. It's sandy and definitely worth a visit.
The bathing area is actually quite nice, especially with the addition of a new jetty this year. The playground is also very pleasant. There are plenty of parking spaces available as well. However, there is a downside due to the geese issue. Goose droppings are scattered everywhere, making it difficult to lay out a blanket and enjoy the meadow comfortably. Walking barefoot across the meadow is out of the question.
On sunny days, the bustling beach attracts a crowd. A spacious and complimentary parking lot is conveniently located nearby. The beach is bordered by a delightful blooming promenade and park. The water is calm and shallow in the designated swimming area, with the temperature surprisingly warm. Beware of the hovering seagulls, feeding them is prohibited and can result in a hefty fine of up to €1000. The Schilksee Olympic Harbour, a forest of masts, is situated at the end of the beach.
This is the best beach I've experienced in Germany so far. The water is crystal clear and there's a great restaurant close by. The beach is peaceful and clean, with golden sand and some rocks. It can get a bit chilly from the wind, but there are beach chairs to shelter in. I really enjoyed my time here.
