Along the Californian coast...
California town sign
California
Schönberg municipality

California Baltic Sea is not just a so-called beach area but also an official part of the Baltic Sea resort of Schönberg. The town sign at the town entrance, bearing the inscription "California," is a popular photo spot for vacationers.
The white sandy beach of California stretches from pier 18 to pier 29, a length of approximately 2 kilometers. There, the beach then merges into the district of Brasilien. To the south, the town borders Holm with its Baltic Sea Clinic and the Holm Baltic Sea Holiday Park. California has a small row of shops with various stores, as well as a small grocery store, a bicycle rental, and various restaurants, including a beach hotel (360° view of the promenade:

All kinds of water sports can be enjoyed at the "California" water sports school at pier 20/21. The idyllic location amidst the salt marshes gives California a very special charm. Instead of dense tourist developments lined up in rows along the beach, you'll find quietly located holiday homes on spacious plots, as well as a few holiday apartments with beautiful sea views.

The California beach area is part of the Baltic Sea resort of Schönberg.
According to tradition, the name comes from a fisherman who found a ship's plank on the Baltic Sea shore.
The word "California" was written on this plank. From then on, the place would bear this name.
