Meeschendorf Dog Beach
Fehmarn · Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
Description
Fehmarn is Germany’s third-largest island and a popular vacation destination. Visitors love coming to its expansive sandy beaches. Fehmarn offers four dog-friendly beaches. Unfortunately, however, vacation fun on Fehmarn with a dog is very limited. On all dog-friendly beaches on Fehmarn, your dog must be on a leash (and, of course, elsewhere as well). We’re used to seeing this rule only on the North Sea coast, but it’s likely based on the Nature Conservation Act. Outside the dog-friendly beaches, dogs are prohibited on beach sections with heavy swimming traffic from April 1 through October 31.
Breeding & nesting season (orientation)
In busy areas of Schleswig-Holstein, dogs must be leashed. In forests, dogs may only be taken along on a leash and on forest paths, year-round. On beaches with lots of bathers, dogs are banned from 1 April to 31 October except on designated dog beaches; municipalities may set different rules. Violations can be fined.
This is a simplified overview, not legal advice. For binding rules in 2026 where you live and walk your dog, contact your local authority (e.g. municipal public order office).
