Kurz beantwortet

Can you park in Baabe?

Yes. There are public car parks in the village and at the Rasender Roland railway station. Depending on the season, the time of day and events, finding a space can take longer.

On quiet days and outside the high season, guests usually find a space without difficulty. On warm summer weekends and during events in the Kurpark it is worth arriving early or switching to the bus and bike.

Where do you park for Baabe beach?

The parking is within the village; from the space it is then a few minutes on foot to the beach promenade.

If you only want a short visit to the beach, park in one of the designated car parks and continue on foot. Parking in the dunes or on access roads is not allowed.

How do you get to Baabe without a car?

By Rasender Roland, by scheduled bus and by bike. Distances within Mönchgut are short.

With a valid spa card, guests use the scheduled buses on Mönchgut free of charge. The Rasender Roland stops in Baabe and connects Göhren, Baabe, Sellin, Binz and Putbus.

Why parking is a topic in Baabe

Baabe is a small seaside resort with a village centre that grew over time. Between the B196 main road and the beach the streets are narrow, and there are few spaces along them. In high season, day visitors, holidaymakers and event-goers all arrive at once.

That does not mean parking in Baabe is impossible. It means that at certain times it can take longer – especially on warm weekends in July and August and during events in the Kurpark.

Public parking in the resort

Designated parking areas in the village and at the railway station. Please check the details with the resort before you travel.

Car park at the Rasender Roland station

Public car park · 18586 Ostseebad Baabe

Parking area at the Rasender Roland station in Baabe. Practical for guests continuing on the narrow-gauge railway or walking into the village from there.

Please note:
Please check availability, tariffs and regulations with the Ostseebad Baabe.

Parking for a beach day

For a day at the beach, park in a designated car park within the village and walk the remaining few minutes. The beach access points lead through the dunes; access roads and dune areas are not parking spaces.

Arriving early usually means more choice. By late morning on warm summer days, the central areas are more often taken.

Parking when you stay overnight

If you are staying in Baabe, check before booking whether your accommodation has its own space. In high season that saves time, because the car can stay put and you can get around the village on foot or by bike.

Not every place to stay in the resort has its own parking. Ask before you book – particularly if you are arriving with more than one vehicle.

  • Ask about your own parking space before booking
  • Clarify extra spaces if you arrive with several vehicles
  • Get around on foot or by bike during your stay wherever possible
