PARKING LOT 1 (BÖRGERENDE WATCHTOWER)

Parking Lot 1 at the Börgerende Watchtower – centrally located on the Baltic Sea coast

Parking Lot 1 (Börgerende Watchtower) is the ideal starting point for a day at the beach on the Mecklenburg Baltic Sea coast. The parking lot is just 100 meters from the clothing-required beach, while the dog beach is about 200 meters away. Beach chair rentals are also right nearby—there’s hardly a more convenient way to start a Baltic Sea getaway in the region between Rostock and Wismar.

Seafood snack bar, dike terraces, and a former GDR border watchtower in Börgerende

Right next to the parking lot, the Börgerende dike terraces invite you to take a break with a variety of snack options. “Sunnus Fischerhütte” offers fresh fish for sale as well as a fish snack bar—a typical experience of North German coastal culture, similar to what you’d find in Fischland-Darß-Zingst or Warnemünde. Another special attraction here is the preserved GDR border watchtower in Börgerende, which serves as a reminder of the history of German division along the Baltic Sea coast.
