Tourist Attractions
activities

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.
nightlife
Outside the summer season, the nightlife is concentrated in the larger cities, such as Świnoujście or Kolberg. In summer, on the other hand, there is a lot going on almost everywhere.
security
The Baltic coast usually falls flat under water and there are hardly any tides 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
At the Pomeranian Bay there is a transitional climate between maritime and continental climate. The amount of precipitation is lower and the temperature fluctuations higher (warmer summers, colder winters) than on comparable coasts in Western Europe.
