Take your time and enjoy the sun at one of the several beaches at the Baltic Sea. Kiel offers this opportunity among many others – while being less than an hour away from the W:O:A.
If you want to enjoy the sun at the beach, take a short trip on a boat or try one of the original Baltic Sea fish-sandwiches you will be able to fuel your batteries before the start of the festival.
