background

The place is quite small and manageable. It is therefore particularly suitable for tourists who are looking for peace and relaxation on the beach and in nature away from the hustle and bustle. However, it can get quite crowded in the high season in July and August.

The place emerged in the 1920s as a villa settlement on a spot where previously there were only individual fishermen's huts. In 1928 the place was named after Lithuanian sea gods Jūratė (Polish: Jurata) named. It is the youngest place on the Hel peninsula, if you think of Syberia - a district of Kuźnica that emerged after the Second World War.

In Jurata, for example, there is also the summer residence of the Polish presidents, where the current president also receives high-ranking state guests.

The beaches with their fine white sand on the Hel Peninsula are particularly beautiful and classy and therefore attract a more upscale clientele.
