The Republic of Poland is attractive for tourists with its glorious history, an abundance of cultural and natural attractions, low (compared to Western Europe) prices, as well as an excellent level of service. Do not forget that this country has another plus. This is more than five hundred kilometers of the sea coast. The entire northern part of Poland is washed by the B altic. And resort towns are located along the entire coast. Iodine-saturated air, beautiful nature, a wide strip of sandy beaches - and all this is framed by historical and cultural attractions: castles, cathedrals, palaces. In this article we will consider the resorts of Poland on the B altic Sea. The main city on the entire coast is Gdansk. It is a must see. In this city, which became the center of the liberation movement of Poland against the Soviet occupation, many sights have been preserved. But if you want resort vibes, you need to stay in small places.

How to come to the resorts of the B altic Sea

Poland is not as far away asseems. Aircraft of various companies regularly fly to the capital of the country, Warsaw. Next, you should get to Gdansk, Szczecin or Swinoujscie. Well, and then by regional trains or buses you can quickly get to the B altic resorts. Each of them is unique, has its own "zest". Gdansk and Gdynia are cities for excursion lovers. But in Krynica Morska, visitors are waiting for a relaxing holiday. Kolobrzeg, Miedzyzdroje and Świnoujście are famous for their mineral springs and, accordingly, hydropathic baths. Ustka is the youngest city, while Jastrzebia Góra and Sopot are the most popular resorts in Poland. Of course, the easiest way to get to the place is for residents of Kaliningrad and the region. Trains and buses run from the Amber Region to the B altic coast of the neighboring country.

Kolobrzeg

The name of this city is translated from Polish as "Near the Shore". The name was given for a reason. The entire tourist infrastructure of the largest resort in the central part of the north of the country is aimed at meeting the needs of beachgoers. The coastline is straight. The beaches are sandy and very spacious. Kolobrzeg has beautiful nature. The beaches are bordered by forests with lakes. The resort has its own microclimate. Since the seventh century, Kołobrzeg has been famous for its s alt springs. Rapa was once evaporated, and precious crystals were exported to Western Europe or Scandinavia. Kolobrzeg bears the unofficial name of the "Pearl of the B altic". If we compare the seaside resorts of Poland, then this town is the oldest one that began to receive tourists. The first holiday home was built at the end of the century before last. Now it is a sanatorium. best timeto try out the microclimate of Kołobrzeg is August. Twenty kilometers of beaches equipped according to European standards are at the service of vacationers. In the town itself, you need to see the cathedral. But Kołobrzeg is most famous for its peat and s alt springs. They are used by physicians in more than thirty local sanatoriums. Diseases of a predominantly rheumatic nature are treated here, as well as diseases of the heart, blood vessels, and metabolism.

Krynica Morska

In Poland, there are at least three settlements with the name Krynica ("well"). Therefore, the town in the B altic was assigned the definition of Morsk. It is located ninety kilometers from Gdansk. In summer, ferries from Kaliningrad go to Krynica Morska. The town cannot boast of a climate - the average monthly temperature in July is + 21. But in terms of ecology, Krynica Morska leaves other resorts in Poland far behind. Herds of wild boars can be seen even within the city. These animals are not dangerous. Despite the fact that Krynica Morska is the smallest city in Poland (the population is one and a half thousand people), there is something to do here. All entertainment is somehow connected with nature. It is worth climbing the highest dune called "Camel's Hump" to view the panorama of the Vistula Lagoon and the spit, as well as visiting the "Birdbank" National Park, where gray herons and black cormorants nest. History buffs are recommended to visit Frombork, which is located just seven kilometers from Krynica Morska, Stegna, and the Stutthof Concentration Camp Museum in the village of Konty-Fisherman.

Leba

Like many resorts in Poland on the B altic Sea, this one is also located at the mouth of the river. Leba gave the name not only to the town in its delta, but also to the lake, which was formed as a result of the alluvium of the dunes. This resort is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. There are three beach areas with the purest sand. The whole history of the town is connected with the struggle against the dunes. Sand hills move at a speed of five meters a year, and in storms they cause serious damage. But the sea coast provides an opportunity for horse riding and cycling, surfing. Lakes Sarbsko and Lebsko are separated from the B altic Sea by a spit, which is the main natural attraction of the town. Children will surely be delighted with the Leba Dinosaur Park.

Mendzyzdroe

Now consider Poland's B altic resorts near the German border. The main cities here are Szczecin and Swinoujscie. Twelve kilometers from the latter, on the island of Wolin, is the resort of Miedzyzdroje. This town is very old. It was founded in 1186. And in the first half of the nineteenth century, Miedzyzdroje turned into a resort. Here is the mildest microclimate in the B altic, mineral springs, clean sandy beaches, beautiful nature and well-developed recreation infrastructure. However, it should be remembered that entertainment in Miedzyzdroje is designed for a special contingent of tourists. After all, the resort is famous primarily as a hospital. Active tourists can make a trip to the Volinsky Natural Park or visit the Ducalcastle in Szczecin.

Swinoujscie

This port city is located right on the German border. Seventy-five kilometers separate it from Szczecin Airport. Like many other resorts in Poland, which were German for a long time, Swinoujscie has a well-developed he alth resort infrastructure. Here they treat skin and gynecological diseases, metabolic disorders, problems with the respiratory system and the cardiovascular system with mud, boric, bromine and iodine mineral waters. The pride of Świnoujście is the ancient fort (a copy of the Roman castle of Sant'Angelo) and the spa park, laid out at the beginning of the nineteenth century. And the city beach stretches for ten kilometers. At the same time, the width of the sandy strip reaches one hundred meters.

Yastarnya

B altic resorts in Poland reviews are called democratic at prices. But some of them are absolutely exclusive. One of them is Yastarnya. It is located on the peninsula-spit Hel. Even in the seventeenth century there were several islands. But over time, the sea and the wind connected them into a braid, and the fishing villages turned into one resort. In the era of developed socialism, closed dachas of party bosses were located on this peninsula. And even now Jastarnia is not like other resorts in Poland. There is a completely different, unhurried atmosphere. The contingent vacationing in Jastarna is yachtsmen, avid fishermen, windsurfers. Due to the prevailing southerly winds, a unique microclimate has developed in Puck Bay.
