The sandy beach on the Geesthacht lock island is truly fantastic, with its many small coves. You wouldn't expect to find such a beautiful sandy beach here. It's not hidden …

They've put a lot of effort into making this spot on the Elbe beach cozy. There's unusual seating, a small canopy, lots of decorations, and everything is in good condition! Perfect!
