Kiel's local seaside resort features about 8 km of sandy beaches, two coastal sections humorously named "Brazil" and "California", and local kiosks selling fresh and smoked fish dishes.

Regionalverkehrsmuseum des Nordens
Heritage trains operate over the eastern portion of the former railway line from Kiel to Schönberger Strand, with occasional through services to/from Kiel on special occasions. The locomotives and carriages mostly come from regional and local railways in the region. There is also a 1,200-m heritage tramway with cars mainly from the former Hamburg and Kiel systems.
Navy Memorial
Rising 85 meters above the coast, the brick tower features observation decks providing views over the Kiel Fjord. At the base of the tower, a memorial hall commemorates lost sailors of all nations
The sole surviving German submarine of the Type VII class, U 995, is beached directly on the shore at Laboe and operates as a walk-through technical museum.
Kiel is the home of the German Baltic fleet, and it is common to see various German warships and submarines in the Fjord, including the training sailing vessel Gorch Fock. Checking the port schedule beforehand is recommended for visitors hoping to catch a glimpse of the ship.
