The beach between Bansin and Ückeritz is a rugged 6-kilometer-long stretch of coastline, and along much of this stretch the land rises to form a bluff behind the beach. A campground called Naturcampingplatz "Am Strande" has camping spaces hidden in the woods above the coastline along the entire 6-kilometer stretch. The are 26 short access paths from the campground down to the beach (not evenly spaced). These paths are identified by consecutive letters, from A to Z. "A" is closest to Bansin, while "Z" is at Ückeritz, where the camping reception is located.

Two areas of the beach between Bansin and Ückeritz are designated as FKK, and both are much closer to the Bansin end than to Ückeritz. Approaching from Bansin, the first FKK area is at access "C" (the third path), several hundred meters past the development of Bansin. The second FKK area is at access "F" (the seventh path), several hundred meters past "C." Note that this placemark is in the general vicinity of the FKK areas but does not precisely pinpointed either one.
