Grömitz

Grömitz is a municipality and coastal spa in Ostholstein on the Bay of Lübeck in Germany. This resort runs for about 8 kilometers along the Baltic Sea with white sand beaches and a modern pier reaching out over the water.

The name comes from a Slavic word for thunder and recalls early settlers from the east. The link to the sea and weather shaped this place over the centuries.

Small stands and shops across the resort sell smoked fish and goods made by nearby producers. Visitors can buy directly from traders who work along the coast of Ostholstein.

Several car parks sit near the beach sections with direct access to the promenade and water sports rental points. Access to the beaches is mostly level and easy to reach.

A sei whale from 1829 was found near the shore and later helped marine biology studies about whales in the Baltic Sea. The animal contributed to research on whale presence in the area.
