My favourite Berlin beach, Havelchaussee is a small strip of sand overlooking the River Havel, in the heart of the Grunewald. There’s no car park, so you have to get there by 218 bus or bike. My kids like making dens in the willow trees. Most people keep their clothes on here, but don’t be surprised if some people take all of theirs off: that’s normal in Berlin.
