A lot. Das Ostseebad auf Rügen gilt als der wohl exklusivste Ort auf der deutschen Ostseeinsel. Was das heißt, ist schon nach einem kurzen Bummel an der Promenade von Binz zu erahnen: Die prachtvolle Bäderarchitektur ist weit über die Grenzen Mecklenburg-Vorpommerns hinaus bekannt. Und falls irgendwem jetzt beim Begriff „Bäderarchitektur“ Bilder von Freibädern und Gartenpools in den Sinn kommen – nicht mal nah dran: Bäderarchitektur bezeichnet die typischen Baustile deutscher Seebäder, Gründerzeit-Villen etwa, die vom wohlhabenden Lebensstil seiner Bewohner künden. Auf jeden Fall sind sie schon einmal eine feine Kulisse für lange Spaziergänge an der Küstenmeile, vorbei am Kurhaus zum Beispiel, das schon 1893 errichtet und, seit es 2001 renoviert wurde, in neuem Glanz erstrahlt. Eingebettet zwischen der Granitz, einem Waldgebiet in südlicher Richtung und der Prorer Wiek im Norden, grenzt der Ort im Westen an den Schmachter See und im Osten an die Ostsee. Binz hat nur knapp 5500 Einwohner, doch in der Hochsaison wirkt das Seebad so lebendig wie ein maritimer Brummkreisel. Ein Highlight des Ortes, an das viele Binzer Besucher gern zurückdenken, ist die malerische, 370 Meter lange Seebrücke, die weit in die Ostsee hineinragt und schon häufig Schauplatz romantischer Begegnungen gewesen ist… Das jährliche Seebrückenfest ist einer DER touristischen Fixpunkte im Jahr.

Everybody to the beach! Anyone who has such a golden shimmering asset would do well to take good care of this gem. The beach at Binz stretches for more than five kilometers and is a particularly popular destination on the island. The 74 beach accesses alone ensure that bathers and water sports enthusiasts can reach the water without any problems; all beach sections are accessible exclusively on foot. The special thing about the beach of Binz: on the one hand, its fine-grained sand, on the other hand, the gentle surf of the sea due to the protection of the bay of Prorer Wiek. This is a bonus especially for families with children, who can splash around here without worrying. In addition to the "normal" sections for bathers, the Binz beach landscape also has designated areas for nudists and dog owners who want to treat their four-legged friends to a little walk on the water - so you're always on the safe side in Binz with all your needs. The Baltic resort of Binz, which is the annual destination for many vacationers from Germany and abroad, is a real hotspot for friends of water sports. Sailing, surfing, kayaking, wakeboarding or water skiing - everything is possible. And if you want to feel like a dreamboat captain for an hour, you can always rent one of the sleek pedal boats - or get right on the tried-and-true water banana and enjoy a ride across the Baltic Sea with your friends. 

Before Father Frost comes, As we all know, autumn prepares people for the coming cool times. Why do we mention this explicitly? Because the autumn in Binz is so particularly beautiful and should be mentioned here urgently: Connoisseurs compare the coastal forest of the Granitz in autumn with the legendary Indian Summer in Canada or that in the American Maine. Well, the fact is that in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, too, the leaves shimmer in all shades of red and gold, inviting you to take long walks in the forests of the Granitz along the high shore. This special sunlight in September and October is warm and clear at the same time - this can only be found at the Baltic Sea! If you have learned to love Binz in summer, you should definitely visit in autumn or winter. Especially in icy winters the island unfolds its own fascination, especially when the icebergs pile up on the coast. You can also store to your heart's content in Binzer Hauptstraße and browse among jewelry, paintings, art photographs, ceramics and handicrafts on the art mile with its galleries, workshops and shops. And one more hint for people who in quiet moments dream of getting behind the wheel of a fancy oldtimer: In the Oldtimer Museum in Prora you can at least get in touch with these wonderful companions from days gone by: The tour through 40 years of divided German automobile history from 1949 to 1989 documents the ingenuity of the constructors who achieved something new despite extreme shortages. Over 80 passenger cars and their special features are typified in the East-West comparison presented, which is unique in Germany. The VIP among these cars is undoubtedly the Volvo 264 TE, the state car of the GDR.

For all the love of hiking or shopping in autumn and winter - the Baltic resort of Binz is a classic summer destination for the whole family. Accordingly, the best time to travel to the Baltic resort of Binz is from mid-June to September. The sea then attracts with a water temperature of 17 degrees or even a little more - and beach visitors are rewarded with especially much sun during this time. In addition, there is a lot going on in Rügen in the summer: The Störtebeker Festival on the natural stage Ralswiek starts in July and lasts until September, the LebensArt fair for garden, living and lifestyle starts in July, as well as the Summer OpenAir, where Mark Foster, Bosse and Johannes Oerding will perform - that promises wonderful summer nights!
