Campingplatz Loissin

If you’ve set your seaside sights on seeing a good chunk of the coast, tear yourselves away from the site’s beach for outings to Lubmin (15 minutes’ drive), where there’s a gorgeous stretch of sand and a harbour for boat trips to the islands of Rügen and Usedom. Take a break from the beaches on Usedom with visits to the Phanomenta Peenemünde hands-on science centre and learning a little local history at the U-Boat Museum. Back on the mainland, there’s a splendid collection of sea creatures to be seen in the aquarium at the Meeresmuseum (50 minutes’ drive), housed in a handsome former monastery building. Arty sorts, meanwhile, may like to scoot over to Sculpturenpark Katzow (20 minutes). Those with an eye for elegant buildings will no doubt want to get over to Greifswald (20 minutes) to potter through the Hanseatic city’s pretty streets and check out the cathedral and the ruins of the city’s old convent. The Heimattierpark zoo, just outside the centre, is worth a stop too, as is the larger Tannenkamp Wolgast zoo (25 minutes’ drive).
