About the spot

Pelzerhaken occupies a headland in Lübeck Bay. Nearshore sandbanks create shallower sections, with chop and waves farther out in wind. Schools and centres provide useful local briefings and tuition.

Wind direction and water level determine the usable section. This popular sports beach can be busy, so allow plenty of room around students and other disciplines. Check bathing zones, shore obstacles and the return route before launching.
