Crossing Rügen can take an hour, depending on traffic. If you have your accommodation in the east in westerly winds, Thiessow, located at the end of a headland in the south-east, is a good alternative to avoid long island crossings.
You can park for €8 directly at the small campsite in front of Klein-Zicker, including toilet facilities. Or you can walk 250m to the Thiessow bathing car park, which costs a maximum of €5 per day. Pitches are set up on the meadow next to the campsite. There is also a small hire shop and school there, but no catering.
The beach is fine sand. There are no dangers on land. Today I’m out on a waveboard in small waves. The ground in the sea goes up and down quite a bit over 30 metres, which leads to several wave breaks. The only danger in the water is 150 metres to the south, where there are a few clearly visible obstructions 70 metres from the shore.
As far as I know, nothing works in easterly winds, so it’s better to avoid the wave spots in Sellin and Göhren, for example, or the shallow water spot Rosengarten. In Thiessow, the westerly winds are quite laminar thanks to the large expanse of water up to Rügen, but are generally somewhat weaker than at the purely westerly wind spots in Suhrendorf, Wiek and Dranske.
