This spot is pretty the same as Heidkate. When you compare these spots Brasilien seems to have always more flat water and the waves are cleaner than in Heidkate. Every 200m stone jetties. Flat water in between, waves outside.

Access
|
Short walk |
From Kiel take the B502. You need to go about 20km just straight ahead till a big circle. In the circle go left for about 2 km, then turn right (parallel to the dyke). Take the next possibility (about 1km) left directly to the dyke. And park here or drive along the dyke to the last parking lot. Parking fees.
Rules |
Zones |
Pay attention to the signs. In summertime there are crowds of tourists. You really need to take care. At the beach and in the water! Due to the jetty not a beginners beach. Camping is about 1km away, but for a fee you can camp directly behind the dam on the parking lot. Parking fee during the season.
No nightlife. You need to go to Kiel.
