Surely, you won't be surprised to learn that we have beautiful Baltic beaches in Poland with infrastructure for families with children and for those looking for entertainment. There are also secluded coasts in the ranking of Polish beaches, just in time to admire nature and look for interesting frames for photos.

Slightly worse is the weather and water temperature in the sea, but the Baltic has its own undeniable charm even during storms and poor weather. The air is then crisp and saturated with iodine, and the element of the sea inspires awe and delight at the same time. We begin our list of the most beautiful Polish beaches from the border with Germany and end in Piaski, near the border with Russia. 

This region is famous for having the prettiest beaches (and the cleanest!) with great infrastructure for tourists. There are many climatic pubs overlooking the Polish sea. There are also disco clubs where the fun lasts until morning, with the added advantage of proximity to attractions in Swinoujscie and Miedzyzdroje.

The Baltic beaches in Swinoujscie are divided into the city beach, west of the mouth of the Swina River, and the east beach. The wide and comfortable western beach is adjacent to a large park with, among other things, a brine graduation tower, Aquapark, walking paths and a rope park. There are bars, restaurants, stores, and restrooms at the entrances to the seaside bathing area. This is a good place for families with children. An additional attraction is the opportunity to watch ship traffic in the seaside port.

The picturesque eastern Baltic beach is narrower and adjacent to a wooded strip of dunes of the Wolin National Park. It's definitely a good beach for romantics — it's wilder here and there are usually fewer tourists. Many of them wander along the seashore all the way to Miedzyzdroje. Blue-green algae are rare in this area, and the water reaches a temperature of about 24 degrees Celsius in the warmest weeks.

The beach in Miedzyzdroje is definitely one of the most beautiful beaches in Poland. That's why there are crowds here in high season. Everyone wants to see the promenade of stars and stroll along the pier, and then eat a fried fish in one of the many coastal pubs.

The picturesque beach on the Baltic Sea in Miedzyzdroje is wide at the height of the resort center and narrows to the east. This is also where the cliff coastline begins — a great place for strolling with a view of the Polish sea or… photography. Other interesting attractions in Miedzyzdroje are:

• a vantage point on Kawcza Góra with an entrance on comfortable wooden stairs,
• Wolin National Park Museum,
• Cabinet of Wax Figures,
• Oceanarium,
• Baltic Miniatures Park.

Want to relax and feast your eyes on the panorama of the Baltic Sea? Come to the charming beach in Miedzyzdroje at dawn to watch the wonderful sunrise, or come here after the tourist season.

Choosing the best beach is not easy, but… Kolobrzeg offers beaches, regularly recognized as some of the most beautiful beaches in Poland. The Kolobrzeg coastline is divided into western, central and eastern beaches, and is separated by the picturesque mouth of the Parsęta River. The west is wilder — there are no crowded beaches, and you can walk with dogs.

The central and eastern beaches are regularly awarded the Blue Flag distinction for water and coastal cleanliness. There are also great dining facilities and close to attractions such as:

• pier,
• lighthouse,
• tourist ship harbor,
• Seaside Avenue,
• Szymanski Boulevard.

The width of the central beach, exceeds 100 meters in several places. It is worth coming here in the morning to choose the best place for sunbathing and swimming in the sea. 

If you are planning a seaside holiday, pay special attention to the locations of the most beautiful beaches in Ustka, Rowy and Leba. In Ustka, the best places for sunbathing are concentrated at the mouth of the Slupia River. The beach here in summer is vast and well-developed, especially on the eastern side.

Vacations in the sea bathing beaches of Rowy and Leba can be recommended to people who like quieter places and proximity to nature. The finest Polish beaches are those in Rowy and Leba — adjacent to the dunes of the Slowinski National Park and the coastal lakes Gardno, Dolgie and Lebsko.

Do you like to spend time actively? Go for a long walk along the beach and visit interesting places nearby. In addition to our top ranking of beaches in Pomorskie Voivodeship, you should see the local submerged forest and observation deck in Czolpin, Czolpinska Dune and Lacka Dune. Families with children are recommended to choose the beach in Leba. There are several amusement parks here where you will all have a great time.

In this region, the vast beach on the Hel Peninsula takes the lead — on one side the Gulf of Gdansk, and on the other the open sea. Plenty of sand with a wonderful golden color and many shells, as well as coastal lagoons, islets, and family beaches where children play. There's also a refreshing breeze and a neighborhood of forest with walking paths, and if you hit good weather, you'll feel like you're on the crowded Golden Horn beach on the Croatian island of Brac.

Other wide beaches on the Hel Spit can be found in Chałupy, Jastarnia and Jurata. These are small summer resorts without much entertainment. However, the advantage is good conditions for water sports — these are good beaches for active tourists. Besides, it's close to attractions in Wladyslawowo and Jastrzebia Gora. 

The Vistula Spit is a vacation hit and a region popular with tourists, especially from eastern Poland. Its advantage is its proximity to the attractions of the Tricity, as well as several nature reserves and tourist cruises on the Vistula Lagoon.

We have singled out Stogi Beach for its cleanliness of the beach and good accessibility to the center of Gdansk. Stogi Beach also has great facilities for tourists and an engaging view of the Gdansk harbor and the mouth of the Vistula Smiala River.

It's a wide and sandy beach for families, where bouncy castles on the water and water slides are laid out in season. There are also several bars and fish fryers in the area. If you like to spend time actively, we recommend walking along the Boulevard of Radio One, and in the other direction along the seashore to Jantar and further to the mouth of the Vistula River in Mikoszewo.

Choosing the most beautiful beaches for a vacation is not easy, especially if you are traveling with children. Fortunately, on our list of Poland's Top Beaches is the one in Krynica Morska — a nice and well-developed beach on the Baltic Sea, ideal for families with children, couples and young people.

Why is it the best beach of the season? Because there are playgrounds, pubs, toilets and changing rooms, and also clubs with good music in the center of town. Other attractions for a seaside vacation in Krynica include a lighthouse, and on the side of the Vistula Lagoon, a marina, a tourist ship harbor and a walking promenade.

This is the beach on the Baltic Sea closest to the Russian border. Few tourists arrive here, so it is quiet and peaceful. This is a real beach for romantics and a place ideal for a lazy break away from crowded and bustling resorts.
