Grossenbrode has always choppy water. When there´s enough wind the waves get a little bigger but you can´t expect real waves. In the water there are some rocks. Please make sure you know where they are because you do not see them from the beach. Please ask the locals. Right in front of the beach the water is flat so it is recommended for beginners. In summertime there is a swimmer's zone, marked with 4 buoys, in front of the beach to the left.

Rules:

Restricted Zones

In summertime there is a swimmer's zone, marked with 4 buoys, in front of the beach to the left, do not kite there. But as there happened some serious accidents make sure that you know where the stones are in the water and you launch your kite at the beach, not at the dam! Don't kite there at gusty conditions. Since there is a highway close by always use a leash. Beginners: please do not use this spot if there is wind from Nordwest/West, because this is onshore wind. Some serious accidents happened in this conditions. Keep the parking lot, dunes and beach very clean, it is a natural reserve. Use the given path only through the dunes.

No nightlife. In summertime you can drive to Burg on Fehmarn (about 10km) for some nightlife.
