Strand Steinbeck

Strand Steinbeck is a beach located on the Baltic Sea, known for its breathtaking views of the cliffs. The beach is steeped in history, with information boards set up for visitors to learn more about its past. The natural characteristics of the beach include a rocky terrain, which requires careful navigation. A small rippling river flows from the cliffs above, down to the sea below, adding to the scenic beauty of the area.

The beach is not suitable for swimming due to its rocky nature, but it is perfect for walking and enjoying the natural surroundings. The cliffs have been affected by storm surges, most notably in October 2023, which can sometimes result in a smaller beach area.

Parking is available at a lot located above the cliffs. From there, a narrow pathway leads down to the beach. The parking lot was previously paid, but currently appears to be free of charge as there are no payment machines in sight.
