background

The Kashubian coast is located in northern Poland. It is shaped by the Vistula glacial period through glaciers, rivers (especially the Reda and the Vistula), wind and ocean currents. Moraines and cliffs appear. In contrast, there are no significant tides and therefore no Wadden Sea. The coast is very shallow and is ideal for kitesurfing, especially in the north thanks to the good wind conditions but low waves.

language

In Poland, Polish is the official and national language. One gets along well with English in Poland. Menus and information boards are often also available in German.

activities

The Kashubian coast is particularly inviting for sunbathing and water sports on the beach.

kitchen

Due to the proximity to the open sea but also to inland waters, marine and freshwater fish are the main components of the regional cuisine. Forest fruits, mushrooms and game provide the dense coastal forests of the Kashubia.

nightlife

There is a lot going on almost everywhere in summer. In winter, nightlife is concentrated on the southern part of the coast in the Gdansk metropolitan area.

security

The Baltic coast falls very flat under water on the Kashubian coast and there are hardly any tides, high waves or unpredictable currents. Bathing is therefore usually safe for families with children and swimming accidents are rare. When swimming accidents do occur, excessive alcohol or drug consumption is usually involved. However, if you follow the general bathing rules and do not go into the water when the waves are high, you have little to fear.

climate

On the Kashubian coast there is a transitional climate between maritime and continental climates. The amount of precipitation is lower and the temperature fluctuations higher (warmer summers, colder winters) than on comparable coasts in Western Europe.
