Its pier in the style of resort architecture is a landmark of the island, along with the Rügen chalk cliffs. Many hotels, guesthouses and holiday apartments are located in lovingly restored spa villas, often with sea views or in the immediate vicinity of the beach. Beach life in a beach chair and the numerous leisure activities for children make Sellin an ideal place for family holidays. The landscape of the biosphere reserve Southeast Rügen provides for active relaxation. In the Sellin hill country there are holiday apartments and private rooms in former fishermen's cottages under thatched roofs. There, guests can enjoy the Bodden landscape and water sports on holiday. There are many excursion destinations for hiking and cycling here. Sellin is a perfect starting point for trips to Binz, the treetop path in Prora, the Mönchgut peninsula and the residential town of Putbus. The National Park Center KÖNIGSSTUHL, Kap Arkona and the Störtebeker Festival are just as worthwhile destinations as a visit to the city port of Sassnitz.
