Bockholm — perhaps the most private beach on the Fjord
In Bockholm, a small district of Glücksburg on the Holnis peninsula, lies one of the most exclusive stretches of beach on the entire Fjord. The beach is just a few hundred metres long, lined with mature trees and remarkably quiet even in high season. Right here, directly on the water, stands Villa Boreal — a holiday home with private beach access and its own bathing jetty.
Holnis Point — where the Baltic meets the Fjord
Just a few kilometres from Bockholm lies Holnis Point, the northernmost tip of the peninsula. From here you have a sweeping view across the Flensburg Fjord all the way to Denmark. The beaches are sandy and shallow — ideal for families and long sunset walks.
Three Birches Beach near Glücksburg
A little further west, directly below Glücksburg Castle, lies Three Birches Beach. Fine sand, a small café and views of one of Northern Europe's most beautiful moated castles make this beach a special experience.
Sandwig — the family beach
Sandwig is Glücksburg's classic bathing beach. With fine sand, shallow water and a lifeguard-patrolled section, it is ideal for families with children. Restaurants, ice cream parlours and the historic spa park are all within walking distance.
Solitude Beach — peace and panoramic views
Between Glücksburg and Meierwik lies Solitude Beach, named after the small castle nearby. This stretch is especially popular with locals and offers wide views across the open Fjord.
Why the Flensburg Fjord is perfect for a waterfront holiday
The Fjord combines Scandinavian serenity with the beauty of the German Baltic coast. The water is calmer than on the open Baltic, the beaches are less crowded and the nature feels almost untouched. Staying in a beachfront holiday home lets you experience this coast in a particularly immersive way.
From water sports and stand-up paddling to long walks along the shore, the region offers everything you need for a relaxing holiday. And if you do not want to sacrifice comfort after a day at the beach, at Villa Boreal you will find a home with pool, sauna and a separate beach house right on the water.
Conclusion
The beaches along the Flensburg Fjord are among the most beautiful and peaceful in Schleswig-Holstein. If you are looking for a place where the sea is still part of everyday life rather than a tourist attraction, this is the right spot. And if you would like to plan your stay, you can directly check availability.
