Go fishing! - Get a fishing rod or simply use your hands and bring a bucket. Set out to an island or make a stop somewhere along the coast. Off with the shoes and enjoy life! Shake seaweed and marvel at the marine life that you will discover! A good thing is that there are no dangerous jellyfish or sharks in the Baltic Sea to worry about!
