You’re lying on the beach, listening to the lapping of the Baltic waves on the edge of the beach, the cries of the seagulls, and you’re writing an email to your friends to tell them about everything you’re doing on holiday.

Besides the opportunity to dial your way into the wide world direct from beach segments 18-20, there is also a free “hot spot” in the centre of Timmendorfer Strand. You can also go online in the tranquil park next to the "Alten Rathaus" or in one of the lively cafés around the fountain with WLAN-enabled iPod, laptop or notebook.
