The Priwall Peninsula (German: die Halbinsel Priwall or der Priwall) is located across from the town of Travemünde at the Trave River estuary, on Germany's Baltic Sea coast. The southern part has been designated a nature reserve (Naturschutzgebiet »Südlicher Priwall«). The Priwall is the eastern terminus of a bicycle path, opened in 1995, that begins at the Danish border at the town of Kruså. More famously, it is the northern terminus of the former inner-German border, and a few remnants of the GDR border system have been preserved near the beach. The Priwall's principal attraction is otherwise the four-masted barque Passat (now a museum ship) of the Flying P Line – which also included the four-masted barque Priwall.

The beaches of the Priwall at the Bay of Lübeck are the site of an annual sand festival called Sand World.
