Rerik Strand (aka Rerik beach) must be one of my favorite places at the German part of the Baltic…read moreSea. Here's why: - not too crowded or touristy even during the main season (Rerik is located on a peninsula, hence no drive-through traffic) - white, sand beach and considerably clean - stretched over 4km - cliffs with a nice walking path up there The downside is that they'll make you pay for using the beach ("Kurtaxe", seriously?!) but then again, you'll pay in every "Ostseebad". Usually, calm and quiet people, lots of older folks, families from the area, and a couple of teenagers, no meatheads. Highly recommended.
