Kurz beantwortet
What is the beach at Baabe like?
Baabe's beach is fine-sanded and shelves gently into the water. It lies between the beaches of Sellin and Göhren and is a few minutes' walk from Ferienwohnung Helene.
Several access points lead through the dunes, and there is beach-chair hire. Between Sellin and Göhren the beach can be walked without interruption.
Which beach on Rügen is the quietest?
The beaches on Mönchgut are noticeably quieter than Binz. If you like it calmer, you are in the right place between Baabe and Göhren.
Binz is Rügen's largest seaside resort, with a long promenade and the crowds to match. Baabe and Göhren are smaller and more family-oriented.
Are there dog beaches on Rügen?
Yes, the seaside resorts designate their own dog beaches. Which sections are affected is regulated by each resort's spa administration.
Outside the designated sections dogs are generally not allowed on the beach – especially in high season and on serviced sections. Please ask locally.
Is the beach at Baabe suitable for children?
Yes. The beach shelves gently into the water, so children can paddle safely. Beach chairs and hire stations are available.
The walks are manageable with children too: beach, bakery, supermarket and bus stop are all close together.

Beaches on Mönchgut
Mönchgut has two coasts: the open Baltic Sea to the east and the Greifswald Bodden to the south and west. The Baltic shore is sandy and accompanied by dunes and coastal woodland. The bodden shores are shallow, often lined with reeds and not laid out as bathing beaches.
Along the bodden shores you find quiet paths and good places to watch wildlife. For swimming, the Baltic beaches are the right choice.
Because the two coasts face different ways, there is almost always a sheltered side when the wind shifts.
Family beaches
For families the beaches of Baabe, Sellin and Göhren are well suited: gentle entry, fine sand, short walks to bakeries and toilets. All three resorts have beach-chair hire and serviced sections.
Take particular care with offshore winds – currents can develop on the Baltic. Please follow the lifeguards' advice and watch the wind conditions.
Dog beaches
The seaside resorts designate their own dog beaches. Outside those sections dogs are generally not allowed on the beach, especially in high season.
Which sections are open to dogs is regulated by the spa administrations of Baabe, Sellin, Göhren and Mönchgut. Please ask there before your first walk – the rules can change.
