Warnemuende - lighthouse and beach promenade

Warnemunde, Germany

As one of Germany's most beautiful, traditional seaside resorts, Warnemuende hosts an internationally renowned sailing race each year. Its lively boardwalk promenade along the miles of white beach shows the result of 160 years of tasteful touristic development: along with bathers and café-goers, fishermen sell their catch directly from their cutters, and ocean-liners cruise gracefully by. One of Warnemuende's sights is the lighthouse.
