Scharbeutz – rides on the beach in Lübeck Bay
Scharbeutz in particular has an ideal location for horse riding on the beach. Located virtually in the center of the Bay of Lübeck and surrounded by Timmendorfer Beach on one side and Haffkrug on the other, there are many opportunities from Scharbeutz to ride a horse on the Baltic Sea beach. This section of beach in the middle of the bay between Sierksdorf and Niendorf is particularly beautiful and also particularly suitable for horse riders because it is particularly wide and flat at low tide.
Few solid obstacles make it comfortable for riders to ride their horse along the beach and trot extensively through the shallow water. In Northern Germany there is hardly a more beautiful way to enjoy nature on long rides from horseback.

Horseback riding on the beach - the best routes for your horseback riding excursion
From here there are at least two routes that riders can choose on horseback: On the one hand, you can ride up the left shoulder of the beach section in the direction of Haffkrug and come all the way to Sierksdorf - theoretically you can even go to Hansa Park or even further to Neustadt ride. You pass various surfing schools, but they don't bother you and you otherwise have free rein to trot and gallop by the sea.
What to consider when horseback riding on the beach?
But be careful: The holiday resort of Scharbeutz and the surrounding towns of Haffkrug and Timmendorf Strand are now also popular travel destinations in autumn, winter and spring for tourists and holidaymakers who want to enjoy the Baltic Sea even in the cold months. Accordingly, you should of course be careful with your horse on the beach. Anyone who rides to the beach on weekends and during the day will encounter many walkers who are trudging along wrapped up in their winter jackets and who may be inattentive.
Of course, it is important that riders and their horses show consideration for pedestrians on the beach so that accidents do not occur on the beach. Of course, it is also important that holidaymakers do not scare the horses. A rather annoying side effect of riding by the sea is that many holidaymakers feel compelled to speak to the riders on the horse and ask questions about holes. Of course, you can prevent this by always keeping moving while riding on the beach or avoiding annoying people.
On the other hand, there is a certain danger from dogs, which are also allowed to run around freely on the beach in the winter months. You should therefore be a little careful that the horse does not get frightened by a dog running up.
Holiday with a horse in Scharbeutz: Rent or bring your own animal?
To enjoy riding a horse on the beach, you have two options: Firstly, you can bring your own horse and combine your holiday by the sea with a stay at the riding stables. On the other hand, at many horse farms in the region it is possible to rent a horse and ride the animal to the beach.
Both have their advantages and disadvantages: If you bring your own horse, you can keep it at the riding stables and know that your favorite animal is well looked after in your immediate vicinity. This involves a certain amount of effort, as the animal has to be transported to the sea in a horse trailer. However, you have the advantage of being able to ride on the beach with your trusted horse, which is certainly a wonderful experience for both horse and rider.
Renting a horse also has advantages
Renting a horse, on the other hand, has the advantage that the effort is significantly lower and the whole operation is significantly cheaper. At the same time, in most cases you know that it is a horse that has a lot of experience with rides to the beach or you can consciously choose a horse that has already ridden to the beach many times.
The disadvantage, however, is obvious: Anyone who loves riding as a hobby also loves their horse and would like to have it with them. You have to give up the other horse after the ride. Whether you would ultimately prefer to ride your own horse on the beach or rent an animal is a matter of taste and up to you.

FAQs Riding on the beach in Scharbeutz - the most important questions and answers
When it comes to riding on the beach in Scharbeutz, there are many questions that riders ask themselves. What are the rules on the beach? What do I have to consider when I ride my horse along the beach? What equipment is required? Below you will find the most important questions and answers about horseback riding on the beach in Scharbeutz to make your experience as pleasant and safe as possible.
When can you ride to the beach in Scharbeutz?
From October 1st to March 31st of each year, riding is permitted on the Baltic Sea beach in the Bay of Lübeck. However, this regulation is discussed anew every year. It is therefore advisable to check before the planned ride whether this regulation still applies.
What can you do while riding on the beach?
When riding on the beach, it is allowed to stay on the beach with the horse. It can be ridden in the sand or in shallow water and can be galloped as long as other beach visitors are not disturbed. However, you have to be considerate of other beach visitors.
Where can you park your car with the horse trailer?
If you want to go to the beach by horse between Niendorf / Ostsee, Timmendorfer Strand, Scharbeutz, Haffkrug and Sierksdorf and come with your own horse, you will find the best parking options outside Scharbeutz on the large car park on Pönitzer Chaussee.
Where can you ride along in Scharbeutz and Timmendorfer Strand?
The entire stretch of beach between Niendorf/Baltic Sea, Timmendorfer Strand, Scharbeutz, Haffkrug and Sierksdorf may be ridden. Horseback riding is only allowed on the beach, not on the promenade. The promenade may only be crossed on the way to the beach. Otherwise, the designated bridle paths or the road are to be used.
What are the dangers of riding on the beach?
Riding on the beach has various dangers. On the one hand, dogs are allowed to go anywhere on the beach in winter. And it is not uncommon for the four-legged friends to bark at the horses and frighten them. I've experienced that on site many times. Riders should definitely be aware of this danger. On the other hand, riders should be very careful in the bank area. There are sometimes stones. Currents in the water can also be dangerous for horse and rider on the beach. In addition, the water temperatures in autumn and winter are sometimes in the single digits.
Where are the horse stations in the Bay of Lübeck?
There are three riding stables in the Bay of Lübeck where you can tie your horse and where you can also find the equipment for collecting horse droppings. Rubbish bins and shovels are available at the riding arenas at the Haffkrug pier, at the Scharbeutz pier and at the Pönitzer Chaussee large car park.
What else do I have to consider when riding on the beach?
Horse droppings must be removed immediately. In general, caution is advised when riding.
Riding on the beach: with the horse on the beach promenade?
In the picture above you can see a horsewoman on the beach promenade in front of the ice cream parlour. Riding on the beach promenade is prohibited. They may only be crossed on the way to the beach.
