Sealife describes themselves as ambassador of the sea. A 220.000 litre ocean basin offers vistas of Blacktip Reef Sharks and colourful tropical fish. Sealife is open daily from 10 am, except Christmas Eve.

Right next to the harbour basin one can find a fish restaurant that serves smoked fish right from the sea. I don’t think one can get fish fresher anywhere else!! There is no service – one queues at a counter and orders the foot and then sits at one of the long tables overlooking the port.

A small port that accommodates yachts as well as fishing vessels can be found in Niendorf just east of the beaches of Timmendorfer Strand. This picturesque little port can be quiet busy during the summer months with many yachts making a stop along the route of sailing the Baltic Sea.

Okay imagine one of the typical North German reed houses with Japanese sculptures around it. I was a bit startled to see this oddity along the beach of Timmendorfer Strand. Asiatica however is a beautiful gallery that has art and books on offer and it’s a worse while stop along the beach route.

I don’t think you can find these anywhere else in the world – the typical beach basket, the small “apartment” each beach goer can rent on the sandy beaches along the German coast. I have seen them almost everywhere along the Baltic Sea coast. The tradition goes back over 100 years and is still kept today. A fee of around EUR 5 will hire you one of those beach baskets that provide shelter from the sun as well as the wind.
