Krynica Morska is located at the north east tip of Poland, only a short distance from the Russian “enclave” of Kaliningrad. The beach is on the fringe of a very narrow land spit not to dissimilar to Hel Peninsula in some ways.

Only an hours drive away from Gdansk it is also possible to catch a train from Gdansk to Krynica Morska although you will need a taxi/car for part of the way and consequently this extends the journey time to almost 2.5 hours.

Hel peninsula is a skinny finger of land that curls across the Polish coastline and Hel is a small village right at the tip of that peninsula. This doesn’t make it that easy to get to Hel but the journey there is all part of the fun.

A train takes around 2.5 hours from Gdansk to Hel whilst a car ride will take around 1.5 hours depending on traffic but like we said the trip to Hel is something really special.

The narrowest part of the pensinsula is at the very beginning and here there is just enough land for a road, a rail track and a few metres of land with views of the Bay of Gdansk on the right hand side and the Baltic Ocean on the left.

As you move further down the pensinsula then the land starts to widen out a bit and houses start popping up as well as cycle paths. Then you come across little holiday resorts (which are well worth visiting by the way), some forested areas, windsurfing clubs until you finally reach the town of Hel.

Here you will find plenty of shops and bars to keep you happy as well and this is also where you will find the beach at Hel that faces the Bay of Gdansk. The beach here is a little narrow and can get very crowded but if you walk across to the other side of the peninsula, on the Baltic side then the shoreline is wider and much less crowded.

Located around 2-3 hours from Gdansk Ustka is a very popular beach especially in the summer season. The beach is divided into two parts with the eastern part catering more to people who want to be entertained whilst visiting the beach.

Here you can expect to find bars, cafes, food kiosks. Equipment for water sports and beach sports can also be hired here as well as plenty of attractions for the kids to enjoy. The downside of all of this is that it can get very crowded at times.

The western part of Ustka beach is more natural and perhaps better suited for those who don’t like crowded beaches. To get there you can either catch a ferry from the eastern side or cross a small bridge that spans one of the breakwaters.

Not a place that appears in most guide books but the beach at Karwienskie Bloto Drugie is a real hidden gem. It is pretty much the northern most beach resort in Poland located not all that far from the Hel Peninsula and just over an hour’s bus drive from Gdansk.

On the approach to the beach are a criss cross network of tiny canals and rivers. Separating the shore from the nearby villages is a narrow forest that runs the entire length of the beach offering some much needed shade during the hot summer season. The forest is also a wonderful place to explore and is very popular with walkers and cyclists.

If you walk directly across the forest then you will come across one of the many entrances to the beach. They are all numbered so it’s easier to find your way back. The beach itself is beautiful and many foreigners who see it for the first time will be amazed that Poland has beaches that could easily be mistaken for Florida. Long expanses of soft, white sand leading to crystal clear blue waters.
