We arrived on foot from Poland and hadn’t planned to go come to Germany on our day trip, so we didn’t have any Euro with us. I thought that this wouldn’t be a problem and expected to see some ATM somewhere. But we never saw one as the ATMs must have been hiding from us. This meant that I couldn’t buy any ice cream nor drinks which was somewhat frustrating because I thought that visiting such a beach resort is more fun with having an ice cream on the sea promenade or a drink on the pier.

So, always carry 5 or 10 Euro with you even when you don't plan to hop across the border!
