The beach in Binz extends for several km in the Prora bay on the east coast of Rügen. It's one of the longer beaches on Rügen island and fills up with tourists in the summer. The beach consists of fine sand and can be accessed free of charge. It's possible to rent a Strandkorb ("beach basket"), a characteristic beach chair made out of wowen wood and designed to provide comfort and protection from sun, wind and rain.
