About Ostseebad Sellin
Sellin is a Baltic seaside resort on Rügen, a compact place that became a resort in 1887 and took off once Wilhelmstraße was laid out. The homes sit close together, within about a kilometre of one another, so most are an easy walk from the centre. Most have a garden and a sauna, some a pool, and they mostly sleep about four with two bedrooms. The Südstrand, known locally as Sellin's bathtub, is fine sand, around 2 km long, and runs out flat into the sea, while the Nordstrand starts beside the pier below the wooded high shore. Wilhelmstraße is a lime-tree avenue of ornate wooden-fronted villas with restaurants and shops, ending at a 30 m cliff with a lift and steps down to the pier. The restaurants along Wilhelmstraße and on the pier are the evening options; nobody comes here for nightlife.
Is Ostseebad Sellin right for you?
- Best for
- Couples and families wanting a walkable resort with a sandy beach
