Very nicely presented but you have to look carefully at the crowds on the promenade

The beach promenade, with its decorative elements, shops, and events, is definitely worth a look. It can also be quite entertaining to relax and enjoy the hustle and bustle after a walk, with a drink.

Since January 2007, a speed limit for recreational boats has been in effect to improve the safety of bathers and sailors. According to the regulations of the Northern Waterways and Shipping Directorate, motorboats and personal watercraft are not permitted to travel faster than 15 km/h in a two-kilometer-wide strip along the coast from Travemünde to Neustadt.

At the end of the Second World War, on May 3, 1945, Neustadt Bay became tragically known for one of the greatest maritime disasters: the sinking of the concentration camp prisoner ship Cap Arcona, which claimed 4,600 lives; the Thielbek, which carried 2,800 prisoners, almost all of whom perished; and the Deutschland, which also claimed many lives. Neustadt is home to a Cap Arcona Museum. Remains of the extensive chemical weapons and munitions sinkings from that period are still being recovered today.

Evening atmosphere at the bay The most important port in Neustadt Bay, which can be defined by an imaginary line between Niendorf and Pelzerhaken off the coast of Wagria[1], is Neustadt in Holstein. The Pelzerhaken lighthouse was built by the Danes in 1843 as a navigation light for shipping in Neustadt Bay. It is still in operation today in the form of a new building from 1937.

This is the beach in Neustadt in Holstein From the promenade you have a wonderful view of the sea and you can spend a wonderful time in one of the well-attended beach bars or restaurants. The promenade runs continuously from the beach to the harbor. There are many boats here that leave right next to the beach. From here you can admire great yachts and smaller ships. The pier even has diving boards and a slide. The dog beach is located between Neustadt and Pelzerhaken.
