The current pier was inaugurated in 1993, replacing a historic wooden pier that had been demolished decades prior.
The pier extends exactly 350 meters from the shoreline into the Baltic Sea.
The structure is designed to function as both a pedestrian promenade and a functional jetty for excursion ships.
It is a popular location for 'sea bridge' festivals, which are traditional coastal celebrations in this region of Germany.
The pier serves as an observation platform for watching the migration of cranes in the autumn.
The Graal-Müritz pier is a 350-meter-long structure extending into the Baltic Sea, acting as a central landmark for the seaside resort. Constructed as a replacement for previous wooden structures, the current pier is built of concrete and steel to withstand harsh coastal weather. It serves as a departure point for passenger boat trips along the Mecklenburg coast. The pier is integrated into the town’s promenade area and provides direct access to the beach. Visitors can view the lighthouse of Warnemünde from the far end of the pier on clear days. The structure is illuminated at night, allowing for evening strolls. It remains a key vantage point for viewing the coastal landscape of the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula.
The very end of the pier looking back toward the shoreline during the golden hour.
Bring a windproof jacket even in summer, as temperatures are consistently lower and breezier at the end of the pier.
Check the local ferry schedule at the pier entrance if you intend to take a boat excursion to nearby coastal towns.
Visit during the early morning for unobstructed views of the sunrise over the Baltic Sea.
Do not attempt to swim or jump from the pier structure as it is strictly prohibited and dangerous due to variable water depths.
Maintain a quiet pace; the pier is a shared space for strollers and fishers.
