The Area

The miles-long white Baltic beach, 2,000 hours of sunshine a year, and on average more than Beaufort 4 winds on every other day in May make Fehmarn Germany's No. 1 surf island. The beach is divided into several zones for the different kinds of surfing: with a fin, with a foil. There's an area for beginners and one where competitions take place. The beachcamps are our pop-up campsites, 300 to 800 m from the festival grounds.
