Dog beach year-round · main beach off-limits until 31 October
Dogs are welcome in Travemünde – with clear rules. At the designated dog-beach sections at the eastern Priwall and at the Brodten shore they can reach the water all year. On the main beach (Kurstrand) dogs are banned from 1 April to 31 October; from November to March they are allowed there too. This page gathers the beaches, the rules, travel with a dog and practical tips.
At the eastern end of the Priwall peninsula there is a designated dog-beach section – open to dogs all year, with plenty of space and quieter than the Kurstrand. Reach it via the Priwall ferry and then east along the beach; the naturist section is nearby (follow the signs).
North of the Kurstrand, below the Brodten cliffs towards Niendorf, there is another dog-beach section. A natural shore with stones rather than lawns – great for romping and long beach walks with a view of the cliffs.
The Kurstrand in front of the promenade is closed to dogs from 1 April to 31 October. In season, head to the Priwall east end or Brodten instead. Outside the season (1 November to 31 March) dogs are allowed on the main beach too.
Yes, at the designated dog-beach sections at the eastern Priwall and at the Brodten shore, all year round. On the main beach (Kurstrand) dogs are banned from 1 April to 31 October; from November to March they are allowed there too.
There are two designated dog-beach sections: at the eastern end of the Priwall peninsula (reached via the Priwall ferry) and at the Brodten shore north of the Kurstrand. Both are open to dogs all year.
On the designated dog beach off-leash is usually allowed. On the promenade, the Vorderreihe and the access paths a leash is required. The signs on site are always decisive.
No. The Kurstrand in front of the promenade bans dogs from 1 April to 31 October. During that time the Priwall east beach and the Brodten shore are the alternatives; from 1 November the main beach is open to dogs again.
Leashed dogs are allowed on the Priwall ferry and on regional trains; larger dogs may need a ticket on the train. This makes the Priwall dog beach reachable without a car.
Emergency veterinary care for the region is coordinated by the Lübeck-area veterinary on-call service. We deliberately do not list an unverified Travemünde emergency vet address – in an emergency, contact the nearest practice or the on-call service in Lübeck.
