The beach is covered in grainy white sand without stones or shells. Seaweed and small jellyfish can be seen on a rare occasion. The descent is smooth and safe. There are no high winds or waves as Binz Beach is located in a calm Prorer Wiek bay.
The beach is very popular amongst families with young children. One of Binz Beach's advantages is that there are specialized zones for different kinds of visitors: there's a zone for pet owners and a zone for nudists which is near the edge of the beach so it doesn't attract much attention.
