Camping on the Baltic Sea beaches in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany, can result in hefty fines, with penalties reaching up to 1,000 euros. Sleeping overnight on the beaches is prohibited, enforced by beach wardens and local authorities, especially during summer. Fines start at 100 euros, potentially increasing with additional violations like open fires. The ban aims to protect the beaches, but legal alternatives like bookable "sleeping beach baskets" exist. Unauthorized camping with tents, caravans, or motorhomes is regularly addressed by authorities.
