What beach activities should we do in Hamburg?
Hamburg isn't traditionally known for beach activities as it's an inland city, but you can certainly enjoy some lovely riverside "beach" experiences along the Elbe River.

The best beach activities in Hamburg involve relaxing at one of the city's urban beaches or beach clubs along the Elbe. These aren't natural sea beaches but rather sandy areas created along the riverfront, offering a relaxed atmosphere with city views.

For couples looking for a relaxed outing, the StrandPauli beach club offers a lively yet laid-back setting. Located near the Reeperbahn at St. Pauli Hafenstraße 89, it provides sandy areas, sun loungers, and often live music. You can enjoy drinks and snacks with a view of the harbour and passing ships, making it a pleasant spot to unwind in the afternoon or evening.

Families might prefer the Övelgönne beach, which is a more open, natural-feeling stretch of sand along the Elbe in the Othmarschen district. It's a nice spot for children to play in the sand and watch the large container ships go by. You can take a ferry from Landungsbrücken to get there, and there are a few small cafes nearby for refreshments.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Hamburg as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Hamburg for you.
