Situated between the Baltic Sea and the Achterwasser, on one of the narrowest parts of Usedom, the village of Zinnowitz is surrounded by beech, oak and coniferous forests. The beach in Zinnowitz is a gently sloping white sandy beach about 3 km long and 40 m wide. There are separately designated beach sections for dogs and horses. Our Haus des Gastes is an experience for everyone and a contact point for information.
The 700-year-old Zinnowitz is one of the most beautiful seaside resorts on the Island of Usedom. At the beginning of the 20th century, hotels and boarding houses were built in impressive architecture, which have been lovingly preserved and restored in the meantime, and together with the generously laid out promenade create a unique picture. As in the 20s and 30s, trips are offered from the Zinnowitz pier to Swinemünde (Poland). Various water excursions are possible from the idyllic marina on the Achterwasser.
