The best Polish coastal destinations to visit

 

So, another blog entry is in need. This time, I decided to write about different coastal destinations in  one post because there is so much to show and tell you all about, but not enough words and time (in this case, my assessment is creeping slowly closer, and I still need to analyse your participation with my blog – that will be fun).

 

Watch this amazing video of some great places to visit while in Poland or this video for more ideas and this video just because it so cool and informative 😊 By the way I love all the promo videos about Poland!

 

Where to start hmmmm. For sure a visit to the Polish Sea is a must! Poland may not be the first choice that springs to mind when planning a summer holiday, but the country's northern coast is really worth a visit. There are plenty of amazing sandy beaches and attractive coastal towns. I’ll present some of them. Follow me 😉

 

Sopot's Pier

Sopot's beach

Sopot

Poland’s largest and possibly most luxurious seaside resort has 40,000 residents. It's jammed between Gdansk and Gdynia, forming Tri-City (Trójmiasto in Polish). If you are in the neighborhood, you have to pop in to see it. Famous for its wooden pier which is Europe's longest. Sopot has everything what a potential tourist is looking for like trendy pubs, restaurants, clubs, and high-end hotels chosen by rich Poles (unfortunately not me ☹), blended with the usual seaside attractions like ice cream shops and souvenir booths. As well in Sopot you can buy beautiful amber stones jewelry just be aware of the fake ones.

Miedzyzdroje beach

Międzyzdroje

Miedzyzdroje lies on the Polish shore, near the German border. During the summer, the town attracts numerous Polish film and TV celebrities who place handprints on the Promenade of Stars, modelled after the Hollywood Walk of Fame. A wax museum, kiddie parks, and a 395 metre long pier into the Baltic Sea are all just around the corner. Wolin National Park is a must-see for nature lovers.

Leba beach

Leba

This town has a lot more to do than just lay on the beach. It's known for windsurfing and horseback riding on the sand. Leba's surroundings are great for walking, and bike trails have been built all over the place. The Slowinski National Park is only a short bike ride from Leba, and it's a great place to see forests and lakes. Polish sand dunes are a big draw for people from all over the world. They come to the park to see them. They are unique because they move when the wind picks up.

Chalupy nudist beach

Chalupy

Very interesting coastal destination for those of you who don’t like tan marks 😉 On the Hel Peninsula, Chalupy is the most famous and oldest nudist beach in Poland. It is located in Chalupy, approximately equal distance from Kuznica Helska and Chalupy, on the Hel Peninsula. This 4 kilometer beach is well positioned and has a pine forest growing on the dunes that runs the length of it, providing secrecy along its whole length. There is a lot
of wind in Chalupy, and the sea can be wild and unpredictable at times. As a result, Chalupy is known as the "capital of wind surfers" in Poland, additionally in the nearby village is a shop that sells windsurfing equipment – that is quite handy. I wonder if they are selling some swimsuits too hahaha.
