    Pepelow Surf Spot

    • Freely accessible at any time
    • 18233 Pepelow

    The spot at the Salzhaff offers shallow water deluxe! You can park in front of or on the campsite. Day tickets are available at the reception. The Salzhaff is very shallow and the standing area is therefore extremely large. Especially windsurfers have to walk further out at low tide so that the fin doesn't involuntarily become an anchor. Pepelow shows its best side with southwest to north.

  • Surfspot New Mukran

    • Freely accessible at any time
    • 18546 Neu Mukran

  • Warnemünde Surf Spot

    • Freely accessible at any time
    • 18119 Warnemünde

    For water sports, there is the signposted surf zone here, with perfect sideshore conditions in westerly and northeasterly winds.

  • Born Surf Spot

    • Freely accessible at any time
    • 18375 Born a. Darß

    Born is a classic Bodden spot with few waves and a lot of standing area. Best freeride action is provided by the southwest - then you can surf along the reed-covered Bodden coast without stress. But also with all other wind directions from southeast to west there is a lot going on here. But please respect the boundaries of the national park.
