Beautiful beaches in Germany
The North Sea, the Baltic Sea and lakes invite you to swim and sunbathe.

On a hot summer’s day up to 12,000 visitors can be found enjoying themselves and relaxing on the sandy beach that is over one kilometre long.
Chiemsee
Bavaria’s largest lake, also nicknamed the Bavarian Sea, offers many commercial beach facilities for water lovers, as well as open beaches that are free for all to use. For instance, the Strandbad Übersee on the south-
