You really feel like you are on the beach. Wonderful… but it remembers a bit on a package tour. Over all the prices. Too expensive. And going to the toilet costs extra.
But the excuse is good: The view, the sand.. the summerfeeling.

Suntan o’clock! It really is kind of like being on a real beach, except you’ve just walked from your house and you can’t actually jump in the Elbe, just see it. A relaxed vibe, decent seating/cushions if you get in early, and a nice bar that will even serve Weissbier with a straw - totally tropical. My only gripe would be the amount of cigarette butts in the sand. So no 5th star. Still - something very different and cool to show off to your English friends!

Wow, what a great place! I headed straight here the first time I was in Hamburg when it actually didn’t rain! Walking up through the hustle and bustle of the riverside past the harbour, I really wasn’t sure what to expect, and was pleased to find this place with a nice level of busy-ness (i.e. plenty of different seating options and not vast queues to the bar, but still a good vibe and lots of people from all age ranges). The imported sand is soft, although it could have been cleaner. The music is funky-chill-out - something I’d hate normally but seemed to fit the place well. I didn’t eat but the food (pizzas, burgers, salads) looked fresh and big portions. A perfect way to spend a hot and lazy afternoon in Hamburg, watching the big ships sail past and catching up with friends.
