Maybe we just got off on the wrong foot…read more Whenever we meet you're usually grumpy. People say you're lovely but to me, you're just grumpy. This crisp Winter morning though you smile. You manage to brighten up my day. And for the first time I can see why people speak so fondly of you. A narrow city beach. Blue skies. Large container ships passing by and merging with the dockyards' silhouettes for a moment. A beach bar, a hot drink. People chilling, sunbathing, walking their dogs. Or kids. Hamburg, you showed me your pretty side. I can stay here for a while.

Schön Strand und nett Café!! Very beautiful views and the Cafe is wonderful!read more

A bit more of a pain to get to than the normal Elbstrand, but it's much nicer. To get there you…read morehave to go through a forest, and there's trees surrounding the beach, so it feels more secluded than it actually is. The easiest way to get there would be by car, but it'd be a nice bike ride. There's also a bus that passes nearby, but I don't know where it goes from

A nice escape in Hamburg. Near enough to not be far but secluded enough to give you the feeling of…read moregetting away. Fairly easy to find, usually enough parking and there's a place nearby where you can stop in for a coffee, ice cream or beer. What more do you want when the weather is right. I live right in town so I enjoy a nice bike read out there and back to truly take advantage of a full day with beach involved.

Lets be honest here, the real reason this place is consistently getting 5 stars is not the fact…read moreit's a really nice beach right in the city, or that drinking any type of cocktail tastes that much better barefoot; it's really because this is Germany and nobody gives a crap if you sunbathe in the nude. It just so happens that this bar is located on a beautiful secluded part of the river, and there's no better place to take your clothes off and have a mojito than on a beach. Ladies: this is not a place to feel bashful, but you'd certainly need to feel comfortable topless in front of a bunch of grandpas who stumble over from their moldy boats in the marina next door. Beyond that its a damn fine place to get a tan like i did! Fellas: this isnt the place to pick up chicks, seriously, dont push your luck otherwise you might find your face in the sand like some obnoxious Brit i saw. Just kick your feet up with a beer and quietly enjoy the view (environmental and human).

28 Grad is an awesome beach club - the best in Hamburg…read more Seriously, if the weather is good in Hamburg, it's worth jumping on the S1 train to Wedel. Once you arrive there, you still have a 10 minute walk down to the beach. The other way to get here - my preferred way - is to cycle alongside the Elbe. Close to Wedel you're forced inland to make your way around some huge ugly industrial complex, but don't be dissuaded - you can't see anything of it from the beach. Once you finally arrive you'll find a lovely little beach club that's situated at one end of one of the nicest beaches in Hamburg. If the tide is in, the beach can be a little narrow, but the bay is very shallow, which makes it great for children for paddling and swimming. Also, if the tide is out the beach quickly becomes rather large, flat and perfect for a game of beach cricket or football. As with all beach clubs the prices are somewhat inflated and you should expect to pay a EUR1 deposit on any glass or bottle. This is the best beach bar in Hamburg though :)
