Baltic Sea Card use in Grömitz

Great events and a well-maintained beach

The Grömitz Ostseecard—or rather, the visitor’s tax—is a win-win for everyone. The proceeds from the Ostseecards are used to fund facilities and services in Grömitz that are not typically found in a comparable town of about 7,500 residents, but which specifically benefit our guests.

Public facilities, the maintenance of the beach, the boardwalk, and the grounds, lifeguard and safety services at the beach, the services provided by the Grömitz Tourist Office, the extensive program of events for all ages, and much more cost a great deal of money, which can be covered by the proceeds from the Ostseecard in Grömitz.
