background

The Slovincian coast is located in northern Poland. It is due to the Vistula glaciation through glaciers, rivers (Parsęta, Wieprza, Słupia, Łeba, Piaśnica), Wind and ocean currents. There are shifting dunes (Lontzkedüne (Wydma Łąck) - 42 meters above sea level), beach lakes, moraines, cliffs and river deltas. In contrast, there are no significant tides and therefore no Wadden Sea.

Tourist Attractions

activities

The Slowinsian coast is ideal 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 Pomerania and the Kashubia.

nightlife

Outside the summer season, nightlife is concentrated in the big cities. In summer, on the other hand, there is a lot going on 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

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