From Hamburg or Luebeck drive North on the A1 towards Puttgarden. Take exit Haffkrug/Sierksdorf and drive all the way to the water. Hitting the beach turn left and follow the road along the water. Where the street takes a left turn and goes up the hill, this is the point where the cliff starts. Find a place to rig.

There is a big nightclub `Bambu` about 5 min drive away towards Neustadt. Or drive to Timmendorfer Strand and here in the 'Nautic Club'.
