Excellent flat water conditions. The Salzhaff is a very big and shallow bay, from knee to hip deep. Water is clear and not very salty. Water level varies depending on the wind direction. Higher water level if wind presses water into Salzhaff. In contrast to the small beach space on the water is seemingly endless. A fin for seaweed is recommended.

It seems that the beach belongs to the Camping Site Pepelow. So, access via the campsite. Beach strip is rather thin. The limited beach space will be no problem. Just be nice to everyone.
