Strandbad Lübars

Lübars Beach in Reinickendorf features a sandy beach, jetties, a diving tower, and two slides, one of which is for children. Beach chairs and sun umbrellas can be rented, and volleyball and a snack bar are available. A single ticket costs 7 Euros, reduced 5 Euros, and a family ticket 15 Euros. Approximately 1,000 bicycle parking spaces are available in front of the lido.

Sand and Jetties in Northern Berlin

At the very north, where Berlin merges into the fields of Lübars, lies a lido that feels more like a swimming lake in the countryside than in the capital. Lübars Beach can be reached by S1 to Waidmannslust and then by bus 222 to the Am Vierrutenberg stop, but many people come by bike: in front of the entrance there are parking spaces for about a thousand bicycles, plus a car park for those arriving by car. Behind the gate, a sandy beach and sunbathing lawn spread out, beach chairs and sun umbrellas can be rented, and jetties lead into the water. A snack bar caters to the beach, and the restaurant on the premises is open all year round. The facility is operated by a tenant who sets their own times and prices. Accordingly, it is worth taking a quick look at the current information before traveling, especially in changeable weather. The location makes up for it: fields, horse pastures, and the old village of Lübars are within walking distance, so a day at the beach can be easily combined with a stroll.

Diving Tower, Slides, and Fair Prices

A diving tower and two slides, one of which is specifically built for children, provide opportunities for activity, along with a volleyball court on the sand. Access to the swimming area and the restaurant is step-free, which is not always a given in a beach lido and helps families with strollers as much as guests in wheelchairs. Pricing remains reasonable: a single ticket costs 7 Euros, reduced it’s 5 Euros, and a family ticket for 15 Euros covers either one adult with two children or two adults with one child; each additional child costs a small surcharge. For frequent guests, there is a ten-visit pass, and for schools and daycares with ten or more people, there is a special group price. This makes Lübars Beach one of the most family-friendly lidos in the city. Because it is further from the center than the large summer baths, it remains relatively relaxed even on hot days, and the paths between the water, lawn, and snack bar are short enough for parents to keep an overview.
