Access
|
Long walk |
From Rostock, take the B105/E22 to Ribnitz/Damgarten, in Altheide turn left to get on the L21 to Prerow. In Prerow look for the Rainbow-camp. Near the camp is a parking place, but you have to walk about 10min to the beach. If you spend some days in the camp you´re in a small forest right behind the beach (50-100m).
Rules |
Zones |
Respect and avoid the nature reserve. Daily fee for beach-use. Don't surf in the swimmer's zone marked with buoys.
