Not even Sopot has such a pier. It is the longest on the Baltic Sea

The beautiful pier in Prerow has been attracting tourists for several months. The wooden seaside promenade was opened in the fall of 2024 and immediately met with great interest not only from Germans, but also from Poles. All because of its record length – 720 meters of the pier, making it the longest place of this type in the entire Baltic Sea basin. For comparison, the well-known Pier in Sopot measures “only” 511.5 meters.

The longest pier on the Baltic Sea is located in Germany

From October 16, 2024, the Sopot pier is no longer the longest on the Baltic Sea. It was then, after more than two years of construction work, that Prerow Pier in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern was officially opened. This German region is known not only for its sandy beaches and chalk cliffs, but also for its castles, Gothic architecture and excellent conditions for sailing (there are over 2,000 lakes here). The new pier is a significant, but not the only, reason to come here.

The promenade in Prerow is 720 meters long and 4.2 meters wide. A jetty leads from the beach to the new teardrop-shaped port, with a total of 50 berths. In the future, an additional marina for cruise ships will also be built here.

The pier at Prerow is free

Most importantly, Prerow Pier is still a free attraction. Unlike Sopot, where entrance fees to the promenade are charged from April to the end of September (in 2025 it was PLN 10 for an adult and PLN 5 for a reduced ticket). In Prerow, we can also enter the terrace located in the small port without any additional fees. The building includes, among others: rooms for the port captain, warehouse and toilets.

Tourists can enter Germany’s longest seaside promenade at any time (there are no specified opening hours). After dark, the lights are turned on for walkers.
