About Grömitz

Grömitz is one of the most popular family seaside resorts in Schleswig-Holstein and delights with an eight-kilometer-long sandy beach, one of the longest piers in Germany, and a range of leisure activities that leave little to be desired for families. The town on the Lübeck Bay has retained its cozy charm and offers the perfect mix of beach holiday, nature, and family-friendly attractions. The Grömitz pier extends 398 meters into the Baltic Sea, making it one of the longest along the entire German Baltic coast. At the end of the pier stands a distinctive tower from which you can enjoy a wide view over the bay. At sunrise and sunset, the pier is a magical place that invites you to linger and take photographs. The highlight for families is the Zoo Arche Noah, a lovingly designed zoo with over 300 animals from around the world, specializing in endangered species. Monkeys, meerkats, kangaroos, and tropical birds light up children's eyes. Right by the beach is the Grömitzer Welle, a modern water park with slides, wave pools, and a sauna area, which also provides fun for swimming even in rainy weather. The Lensterstrand promenade connects Grömitz with the neighboring town of Lenste and is perfect for extensive beach walks and bike tours. The hinterland of the Holstein Switzerland with its gentle hills and clear lakes is just a few kilometers away and offers a change from the beach program. Grömitz is about one and a half hours from Hamburg and offers a wide selection of holiday apartments and holiday homes, which are particularly ideal for families. The main season runs from June to September, but spring with its long, bright evenings at the beach also has its special charm.
