The harbor is located within the administrative boundaries of the Usedom-Süd municipality, directly adjacent to the Polish city of Świnoujście.
It serves as a key stop on the Usedom cross-border cycling trail network.
The harbor basin is sheltered by a concrete breakwater that protects it from the lagoon's strong winds.
It has been a traditional settlement for fishing families since the mid-19th century.
The village of Kamminke itself was historically known as a 'sun village' due to its favorable south-facing orientation on the lagoon.
Kamminke Hafen is a historic fishing harbor located on the Stettiner Haff lagoon in the village of Kamminke on the island of Usedom. It is situated just meters from the German-Polish border, serving as a transit point for water traffic between the two nations. The site features a restored harbor area, a small sandy beach, and a scenic viewpoint overlooking the Szczecin Lagoon. It retains its traditional character with preserved fishing boats and regional maritime architecture. Visitors can observe local fishermen and cross-border ferry connections during the active season. The location provides a direct connection to the nearby Golm hill, which is the highest elevation on the island.
