General & Geography
Table of Contents
The German Baltic Sea coast is still one of the most popular holiday destinations in Germany and is enjoying increasing popularity with families and younger travellers with great new projects.
The German Baltic Sea stretches over a coastal length of almost 1500 miles if all the offshore islands and bays are added together. To the west, the Baltic coast extends to the city of Flensburg, to the east, the German coast ends at the border with Poland.
Apart from the sunny island of Fehmarn, the most popular holiday resorts on the German Baltic Sea include the Baltic Sea tip region (including Heiligenhafen, Großenbrode, Heringsdorf) and Weissenhäuser Strand, the Lübeck Bay including Timmendorfer Strand and Scharbeutz, the Kieler Förder (with Laboe), the Eckernförder Bay, the family paradise Damp as well as Stralsund, Rügen and Usedom.
Well-known Baltic seaside resorts are also located in Hohwacht, Kellenhusen, Travemünde, Boltenhagen, Rerik, Kühlungsborn and Graal-Müritz. The largest cities on the Baltic Sea are Kiel (capital of Schleswig-Holstein), Lübeck and the Hanseatic city of Rostock in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
The German Baltic coast not only has a lot to offer culturally, but with its maritime flair and an almost endless range of activities meets almost every taste. From a family bathing holiday to an active sports holiday or a relaxing cure, there is something for everyone.
Climate at the German Baltic Sea

Similar to the Danish coast, the German Baltic Sea coast is situated in a temperate maritime climate zone, which is crossed by several milder sub-regions (microclimates). In principle, the constant wind cools down so that even the summer months remain comparatively cool.
Day temperatures on the island of Fehmarn, for example, rarely exceed 20 °C even in the hottest month of August, and the water temperature rarely rises above 18 °C. But especially in connection with the salty air, this so-called”stimulating climate” at the Baltic Sea is very health-promoting.
There is no classic rainy season at the Baltic Sea, 8 to 10 rainy days per month are quite constant throughout the year. However, the total rainfall (e.g. 20.79 in per year on Fehmarn) is significantly lower than in most regions of Germany, with an average rainfall of 38.07 in in Munich.
Sunniest and warmest months are May to early September, frost (and snow) is mainly possible between December and March. The situation is similar on the Danish and Polish coasts of the Baltic Sea.
