When I heard Hamburg had a beach, I was very curious to check it out and my friends in Hamburg told me to go there. Now, if you are a normal human being who''s been to the beach in the Mediterranean, then we will agree that this is NOT a beach. OK, fine, you have a patch of 200m of sand which is next to the Elbe river but you can most definitely not swim as you are overlooking a port ! I guess it gets warm during the summer and maybe you can sunbathe and pretend you are on holidays in Spain but truly I''d rather do that at the park than there.
