Scharbeutz ~~specifically~~ reported a 12.6 percent increase in overnight stays in 2025, reaching approximately 1.17 million. Accommodation prices in Scharbeutz fluctuate by season, with simple double rooms ranging from 80 to 120 euros per night.

New lodging trends in Fehmarn and Heiligenhafen include houseboat vacations, such as those operated by Meeresblick Hausboote, which offer a maritime experience. Logistical costs for visitors in the region include beach rentals, parking, and spa fees (Kurabgabe).
