Sea vacation in Poland: the best beach resorts

It's not Turkey or Egypt, but it's also worth visiting. We will tell you about the best summer locations of the neighboring country that are often overlooked.

Gdańsk

A city with a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages. It is dominated by a cool maritime climate. The warmest months are July and August. The air temperature ranges from 20°C to 30°C.

Brzezno Beach is a wide sandy beach with a long pier. It is conveniently located on white benches. This is an ideal place for a family weekend, as there are equipped playgrounds nearby. Sun loungers and umbrellas are available for rent. And there are restaurants nearby where you can have a delicious lunch. On Plaża Stogi, tourists can go windsurfing and kitesurfing.

In the evening, we recommend taking a walk near The Crane. This is the largest and oldest port crane in Europe. You can come here not only during the day, but also in the evening, as the entire embankment is illuminated by lanterns.

Be sure to check out the Town Hall on Długi Targ Square. It is decorated with exquisite frescoes and paintings. If you go inside the tower, you will find yourself in the museum. You can also climb to the observation deck and admire Gdańsk from an 80-meter height. By the way, the entrance is free every Monday, but only from 10:00 to 16:00.

We also recommend going to St. Mary's Basilica, the largest brick cathedral in the world. Many valuable masterpieces are kept here. One of them is an astronomical clock from the fifteenth century.

Jastarnia

The resort is located on the Hel Spit, which is washed by the Baltic Sea on three sides. The location is perfect for lovers of active tourism. It is home to the largest water sports school in Poland, which teaches windsurfing and kayaking. By the way,  the beaches of Hel have been recently recognized as one of the safest in Europe.

Be sure to visit the old fishing house. It was built at the end of the XIX century. It is an ethnographic museum where household items and tackle are kept.

Do not miss the old lighthouse. It is located near the local port. Here you can climb to the observation deck and admire the surroundings.

Keep in mind that the weather in the city is too changeable even in summer. Thus, if you dream of a beach vacation, don't take any risks. It is better to choose other resort destinations in Poland.

To get to the peninsula, you can take a ferry from Gdańsk or Gdynia.

Władysławowo

One of the most popular port towns. A wide sandy strip stretches for several kilometers. There are areas for playing volleyball on the shore, as well as food outlets. In the summer season, there are a lot of tourists here: from ordinary students to families with children.

Be sure to visit Ocean Park, a theme park with many attractions. Its main highlight is a huge aquarium with sharks. By the way, it not only entertains but also educates. There are many interesting shows for kids, telling them about the flora and fauna of the Baltic Sea.

We also recommend going to Lunapark Sowiński. The highest roller coaster in Poland was built here. There is also a ferris wheel, extreme rides, rooms of fear and laughter, and other entertainment.

Gdynia

The location is found on the shores of the Gulf of Gdansk. Most travelers choose the city beach, which stretches for 300 meters. There are playgrounds and a promenade with cafes and restaurants.

Nearby is the Marina Gdynia Yacht Club, which has more than 260 berths. We recommend taking a leisurely stroll around the area to get a good look at the luxury yachts and small boats. By the way, the marina also serves as a base for sailing competitions.

Be sure to visit the Błyskawica Naval Museum. It is home to the Grom-class destroyer, the oldest in the world. A gangway has been set up near the ship so that visitors can climb up to the deck. Here, tourists will see the engine room, officer's mess, anti-aircraft guns, etc.

We also recommend taking the funicular to Stone Mountain. From here you can admire a beautiful view of the city. If you are looking for the perfect place for a photo shoot, go to the pier in Orlowo. The lanterns and white benches will be a great attribute for your photos. By the way, you can watch picturesque sunrises and sunsets from here.

Ustka

In 1974, the city received the status of a resort area. Today, it is a real health resort, famous for its mineral waters and therapeutic mud. Here, tourists can combine a beach vacation with health benefits.

In the eastern part of the village, you will find a lot of entertainment and attractions. The west will be a great place for solitude. There are usually much fewer people here.

There are several restaurants in the port that serve freshly caught fish. There are also many mini golf courses and tennis courts in Ustka. When you are in the center, be sure to visit the Amber Museum. There is a large collection of this stone: exhibits of small ships, airplanes, houses, etc.

We also advise you to visit the historical landmark Blücher Bunker, where you can go back in time for a while. The complex of German bunkers from the Second World War is located in the sand dunes. Nazi uniforms, weapons, a gun station, and military equipment are stored here. By the way, the basement houses a modern multimedia area with movies and dioramas.
