The 29 best beaches in and around Gdansk

Brzeźno Beach in Gdańsk, Poland, is a clean, well-maintained beach with fine golden sand and calm waters, perfect for swimming and relaxing. It offers various amenities, including cafes, restrooms, and playgrounds. The nearby promenade is ideal for walks, and the atmosphere is vibrant yet laid-back. It's easily accessible from the city center and close to other attractions, making it a great spot for a day out by the Baltic Sea. ✨✨

Nice sandy beach, but during summer weekends its overcrowded. A lot of fast food restaurants are close to the beach. If you have lucky, you can park your car for free on a way to the beach.

I agree with all good reviews here. Easily accessible, clean, nice small restaurants, bike path etc. But I think it misses very important facilities like changing rooms, showers and clean public restrooms.

Not much there really. A few bars and cheap and nasty arcade machines.

Quite clean beach but could be better maintained. Some trash were found around.

Such a lovely beach, I stayed at a place only 10 mins walk from here a couple weeks ago, so made sure I went and had a walk on the beach at least once a day. Really peaceful in October (I've seen some photos on here from the summer months though!) Great for a walk, love the sound of the sea and it looks great at night when the pier is lit up. I noticed locals were picking stuff up all along the shore on my first night, so after a few minutes I started looking down (too many for it to just be people looking for pretty shells) then I noticed a little bit of orange, then another bit. Baltic amber washes up on the shore, especially at rougher times of the year, so it was really chill just taking a stroll in the evening, picking up some tiny bits here and there. Now I have a keepsake that I found myself rather than bought.

BEAUTIFUL, clean, peaceful and spacious beach 🏖️ Highly recommend for family time, personal space and mindfulness🙏For best experience, visit during uncommon times 📆❤️ Martyna Krawczyk #mentalpro❤️ Positive Mental Coach & International Speaker

Peaceful and scenic beach, perfect for a relaxing walk or a picnic. I loved watching the sailboats drifting under the moody sky — such a calming and beautiful view. Great spot for families and quiet moments by the sea!

Perfect before the high season. Water is cold even in July, but it’s refreshing to walk in it towards the sunset. Sand could have be cleaned better.

The sand was very clean and has loads of small shells - great beach bar and food also located close

Good beach to relax and have a nice walk!

It is a clean, wide beach, shady with trees, you can ride a bicycle and run long distances on the beach. There is volleyball to play and what I like is that in the evening there is a dance area every day. It is fun and good exercise. I am Thailand and at the dance area I made good friends.

Beautiful sandy beach, and clear water. Activities for children's a d adults. Great choice of food in local areas.

It's totally worth it even for just a walk or a small picnic by the sea! Easily accessible by tram from the city centre

Need to go forest first which is very calming especially in the morning, with birds song. The beach is nothing special but not overcrowded

Totally unexpected! Amazing beach- nice and clean. Highly recommend in the evening for a great sunset. Short walk from the car park.

Loved the smell of the sea, the peace that comes with seeing the sea. Not very crowded and just relaxing

Lovely beach 🏖, not extremely crowded. A bit long way to get there, a longer way to the restaurants. Pack a picnic. And enjoy 😊

Beautiful beach, but very crowded in July. There were no food or drinks to buy, so be sure to bring a lot with you.

Beautiful beach, not busy at all and a beautiful walk to get there

Nice clean beach. I've been to it in the October so it's rather hard to say more.

The Sopot Pier is a very nice place to visit and take a walk, especially with family. The views of the sea are beautiful, and the atmosphere is great for a relaxing stroll. Depending on the day and time, it can get quite busy, but even then it’s still worth visiting. A lovely spot to enjoy the seaside!

Nice sightseeing spot, especially considering it’s the longest wooden pier in Europe. Till 20.00 entrance costs a few EUR, afterwards - free of charge. You can observe a colony of swallows nesting under the pier floor. There are plenty of benches for sitting and sunbathing. However, I recommend to wear sunglasses, as the sunlight reflecting off the sea surface can make exploring the area uncomfortable on a sunny day.

It's a beautiful and pieceful walking place that turns into a magic during late hours. I used used Premium Yachting offer to go on 110min cruise. The captain Marta is so welcoming, and the experience - calming.

Beautiful long pier. Although there isn’t any entertainment on the pier, it is really nice for a relaxed walk and a sit down on the benches. Can get quite windy so wrap up warm and admire the views :)

A true gem! Pier In Spot offers stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere – the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. The pier is well maintained and safe, and the view from it is simply breathtaking – the sunsets here are something else. An ideal spot for unwinding or even photography. Highly recommended!

Amazing pier, especially quiet at night. We were out of the season, but still nice place to calm down and have a quick walk

Sopot pier is a nice walk. You get a great view of the Baltic Sea. It can be a bit packed depending on the time of day with tourists, but it should be a must see for anyone visiting Sopot.

We came to explore the famous beach of Sobota. The beach was nice, yet in our opinion nothing special, maybe even a little disappointing. The sandy area of ​​the beach is in most parts quite narrow (but kilometers long), the dunes were small, the sand was fine-grained, the water seemed clean, the beach was not littered. There were a lot of people, but there were few services, such as toilets, other than near the pier. There are few parking spaces, mostly on the side of the street. We think it is worth visiting the beach, but perhaps on a less populated part.

Great beach, I had a nice visit to Sopot and loved the beach! Perfect place to relax and go for a swim, would definitely visit again.

Beautiful elegant sea resort, a lot of restaurants to choose from. Some right on the beach also rent umbrellas and lounge chairs. The pier is open to the public but you need to pay a ticket (10 NPL) to access it. Nice views from there.

It is nice for hiking. You can meet seals or one at least

Quite crowded beach during summers especially during holidays. We can bath during summers as it wouldn't be very cold, just that we may need to find appropriate place to bath as some areas are filled with lot of algae which smells badly. Unfortunately there wasn't any facility for taking shower, only we could change clothes. Waves are quite strong here.

One of the best places to be in during summer 🌊💙

Nice sandy beachfront facing the baltic sea, cruises available there some are pirate ships. Numerous surfing boats spotted. Lots of big size seagulls making alot of noise. Great way to admire the baltic sea while enjoying a gelato. Occasional light drizzling rain, advisable to bring light jacket in September

Gdańsk Główny is the city’s main railway station and a striking example of Neo-Renaissance architecture, originally built between 1894 and 1900. Following a major renovation completed in 2023, the station now combines historical charm with modern amenities.   The station operates 24/7 and includes essential services such as ticket offices, luggage storage, restrooms, and a waiting area. Additional facilities include a currency exchange office, ATMs, and free Wi-Fi. For dining, there are fast-food options like McDonald’s and KFC, as well as nearby cafes and bakeries.   Located at Podwale Grodzkie 1, 80-895 Gdańsk, the station is well-connected to public transportation, with tram and bus stops just outside. An underground passage links the station to the bus terminal and provides easy access to the Old Town, which is approximately a 10-minute walk away.   Travelers should be aware that while the station is generally safe, it can become crowded during peak hours. It’s advisable to arrive early for your train and keep an eye on your belongings. The station’s recent modernization has improved accessibility, with elevators and escalators now available.  Overall, Gdańsk Główny offers a blend of historical elegance and modern convenience, making it a pleasant starting point for exploring the city or continuing your journey through Poland.

Nice train station, staff members speak English well, which is a plus. A bonus... make sure you ask for a REGULAR train ticket as the ICCC is 4 times the price to Malbork compared to the REGULAR trains. ICCC only gets tou there 10 minutes faster. Between REG and ICCC, they have a route to Malbork for almost 30 minutes.

Gdańsk Główny is a visually stunning train station with beautiful historic architecture and a strong sense of old-world charm. It’s a great first impression when arriving in the city or passing through—but unfortunately, the functionality didn’t quite match the aesthetics during our visit. The biggest issue was the lack of clear signage. All of the electronic screens were off, making it impossible to figure out which train to take to get to Gdynia. We had to go to a ticket booth to ask for help, and while the attendant did speak English, she spoke very quickly and with a thick accent, which made it hard to understand the instructions. Ultimately, we had to exit the station, go around the outside of the building, down a staircase, and through several hallways to find the correct platform. It wasn’t intuitive at all and would be especially difficult for first-time visitors or those not familiar with the Polish train system. With some improvements to signage, clearer directions in multiple languages, and working information screens, this station could offer a much smoother experience to match its beautiful design. That said, if you have time to spare and aren’t in a rush, it’s worth admiring the building’s impressive exterior and clock tower—it’s a piece of Gdańsk history.

Good railway station and its architecture is cool, connected with local transport system. One could have the ticket online or get it on station itself as there is no communication issue. Clean platforms make it good for commuters.

When we arrived at the ticket office there was a long line but the staff got the line moving fairly quickly. Make sure the available agent speaks English first of all (if you don’t speak Polish) so that you can join the front of the line until one becomes free (3 out of 4 did). Kate spoke great English and was incredibly helpful with us. A lot of trains were booked up and she was extremely patient and managed to find us a couple of seats out to Szczecin.

Nice train station with good services. Place is well-organized. I just missed announcements in English despite I understand a bit Polish.

The station building is currently being refurbished and so you cannot visit it. There is a temporary ticket office where you can also find toilets where the cost is 4zl. Access to the platforms is via an underpass which confusing the first time you visit. Underpass also connects to the tram stop. Station has escalators and good information about train timed. We used the station to visit Sopot and Malbork. 06/10/2025 - Visited station which has been reopened.

I guess it’s all about perspective . There is no way on earth if you have been to Australia , New Zealand , the United States or other parts of Europe that do have 5 star beaches that you can give this one a 5 star. So it all depends on what you have experienced over your life. It’s got a boring sea. Huge cranes to your left and even mosquitoes on the beach and all over close to the forest. I’d say it’s the best beach in this area and it has good transport and amenities close by and you can even Mevo ( electric bike ) there and back which is great. But don’t be fooled thinking you are going to some paradise beach. It’s a 2* at best. It does have nice sand so maybe a 2.5. Harsh but true .

The beach was very good, only sand without stones. Trash cans on every corner. Long and nice beach.

Not exactly idyllic, because of the port close by. I still enjoyed coming here. The beach is huge, nice soft sand and a good bus connection from and to Gdansk.

Your experience will depend on which part of Stogi Beach you go to. If your preference is the middle part where most people go, you may be disappointed. But up the top end by Beach Entrance number 20 is lovely. The other end of the beach... well, if you like views of cranes to go with your beach time, then this is yours. It's actually very nice down there, but the cranes rather dominate your view. So choose carefully.

Nice beach located bit distant from center though well connected by tram. Beach is mostly neat and clean, but crowded during summers though not up to the level we see in beaches of Gydnia, Sopot etc. We get to see bit of Gdansk shipyard in this beach. Beach has descent waves which is good. Tram#8 and 9 brings you here from center and stogi Plaza would be the last stop of these trams. Apart from beach there are play area for kids and each of them is charged for 15 mins on an average of 15zl. Quite lot of restaurants are there as well which mostly sell fish and chips, drinks etc.

Small beach, clean, quiet and not very busy. I loved it. Only one toilet nearby, not for free. Amazing view at night x

Dirty beach View are terrible 👏😀 2 cabins No toilets around

Nice to climb up, read the history - it is from here the first shot from machine gun started WWII. Nice views from the top

We stopped here briefly on a bus tour of Gdansk and only saw the exterior. From the outside, this 1893 lighthouse is not particularly impressive. But lighthouse geeks would enjoy seeing this because the mechanisms were innovative in their day.

A lot of WW2 history is here in this lighthouse. And you can get a great view from the top. And some cool artwork outside! And you can watch the ships coming in and going out. And... that's a lot of ANDs for one place. There is the tram stop "Latarnia Morska" In Brzeźno to get there.

Beautiful, one of the most historical place in the world. The lighthouse where the firsts shots of the the second World War were fired. Well mantained. The time bowl still works: goes up then down every day at 12, 14, 16 and 18. If you're lucky enough to meet the "captain" jacek who usually sits in front of the lighthouse, let him tell you the history of the lighthouse, the history of his life, and other interesting things like the purpose of the time bowl and how it works. It's really worth it! A super sweet and beatiful person.

An amazing view and the start of world war 2, most interesting

Really interesting place. Unfortunatelly there is no Family tickets available and with 2 adults and the kids it was a quite expensive experience.

Fascinating to visit the site of the first shots fired in World War 2, and have a great view out across the city and the bay.

The beach near is very clean and the sand looks and feel nice! I was surprised by the beautiful dark green colour the sea had this cold day of May ☺️ If you continue on the opposite side of the harbour, the beach looks wild. Which sounds like a good spot for the summer.

Good beach with great view of the port. Easy to get to from the city centre (30 mins travel)

A super cool beach. Lots of beachfront and the sand is very nice.

Very clean beach with fine white sand. The entrance to the beach is right behind the tram stop. There you find some food stalls and vendors. Toilets, a few showers and one water fountain are around the corner. For such a populated beach that is not a lot. A boardwalk leads on the beach, where you pass by the big lifeguard house and a tiny place to park your bike. The beach streches for kilometers to the east. The further you walk, the less crowded it gets. To west there lies the harbour. Where I went swimming, water was very shallow for 100m or so. It was only knee deep, ideal for kids, for swimming not so much. Anyhow I enjoyed my time on this beach, I found the people there friendly and decent.

Super. The ships near by make it ever more interesting, had a great time

Clean and beautiful 🏖️ recommended to go with someone! And its free, a lot of space where to seat

Beautiful beach… super crowded though due to summers… food is okay and expensive… worth carrying your own food and drinks….

Sobieszewo is an interesting place for natural beaches. The peninsula is too long for being browsed on foot, rather by bike or car. The choice of restaurants and activités is limited. Despite the Natura 2000 label acquired years ago, it feels the economic activity and touristic development have reached their full potential a while ago and there is no perspective of having this place becoming a major attraction of pomorskie.

Worth to visit .Lots of places to stay nice beaches and wood.

Very nice island

SUPER !!!

Calm and nie place

Love

Bit abandoned and its the biggest advantage

Great dog beach! One can let a dog go off the leash and feel super safe. The beach is connected to a playground deeper into the woods — you all can walk there for hours

The most peaceful and open beach in Sopot. Behind the beach you have a forest, so you can have some shadow of there's too much sun.

The beach for dogs is a very good idea. There were approximately 20 very friendly pets with owners. There was clean and a lot of space for everybody. I recommend this place

The good thing is there is sweet water river flowin in. And shadow from the trees. Great spot!

Nice place with lot of dogs :)

Great place to take your dog. Beach area is not fenced, but there are often other dog owners playing with their pets on beach and sea. Sometimes place can be very crowded with dogs and owners. Near the beach there is a playground for dogs ( small agility utilities ). I recommend this place.

Great place to take your dog, friendly people, and dogs love swimming in the sea. There is also a spot for dogs play nearby which makes this place even more fun. We love to come here with my labradore and there are always some other dog playing. Other people are usually aware that this is a place for dogs and noone complains, at least I didn't have situation like that. I can hihgly recommend this place with a hope that it will only gets better with time and when more people use it.

Good beach and not too crowdie but may be lack of activities for some (other than basic beach fun)

To many People. Dirty Forest.

Mega

Lovely

Mikoszewo

(Translated by Google) Wonderful, wide, with fences, for searching for amber. She stole our hearts. The kids were delighted with the lachs, we spent a lot of time there, although the weather did not allow swimming ;) There was also a flock of swans, and a bird reserve right next to it. It's perfect. 👌 (Original) Wspaniała, szeroka, z lachami, do poszukiwania bursztynów. Skradła nasze serca. Dzieciaki zachwycone lachami, spędziliśmy tam wiele czasu, chociaż pogoda nie pozwalała na kąpiel ;) Do tego stado łabędzi, rezerwat ptaków tuż obok. Jest idealnie. 👌

(Translated by Google) The place always surprises with its lack of boredom all year round. A wonderful walk on the shore of the Baltic Sea and a fantastic experience while observing the surroundings. I recommend the area to hike with a lens, but out of season. (Original) Zawsze przez cały rok miejsce zaskakuje brakiem nudy. Wspaniały spacer nad brzegiem Bałtyku i rewelacyjne doznania przy obserwacji otoczenia. Polecam obszar do wędrówki z obiektywem, ale poza sezonem.

Nice beach with 'singing sand' near the waterline. A workout facility is located nearby, and a long avenue lined with flowering plants—such as beautiful lilac shrubs—runs behind the beach. However, the water was exceptionally cold for the end of May, only around 12°C, due to probably the coldest May in 30 years according to local weather observations.

If you are traveling around Trójmiasto this place is definitely worth it to check it out. There’s a lot of parking spots which are close to the beach. Entrance to the beach is for free. There’s a lot of restaurants out there. Views are beautiful.

Nice beach - we had food at the white marlin which was nice - and the have a kids play area on the side of the building and the Wc (toilets you don't have to pay for)

Cigarette butts everywhere. They're no beach amenities, showers etc. Restrooms are scarce, overly expensive. Overall, considering the amount of incoming taxes, should've been better. The city administration is not there for the beach.

As far as city beaches go, it's great. A long beach with soft sand, relatively clean, with lots of nearby amenities. Sometimes it's even warm enough to swim!

What a lovely place The cafe culture. the ambiance is lovely. A great place to take the family. I wish I had visited sooner. Another place on my bucket list to go back to

It's full of turists now, but it used to be quite peaceful beach back in the days. Also, my favourite spot for soaking up the sun.

Small, scenic beach with adjacent parking. Unfortunately it’s not kept clean.

(Translated by Google) A nice beach for swimming both in summer and winter ❄️ (Original) Miła plaża zarówno latem jak i zimą do morsowania ❄️

(Translated by Google) Overall it is a good place to relax. It gets crowded on summer weekends and people park everywhere. The beach is grassy, ​​the water quite dirty. The descent into the water is gentle and safe. There is a water equipment rental 200 meters away. There are few shade trees on the main beach, but just go a bit to the left or right and it's better. (Original) Ogólnie to jest dobre miejsce na wypoczynek. W letnie weekendy bywa tłocznie i ludzie parkują gdzie popadnie. Plaża jest trawiasta, woda dość brudna. Zejście do wody jest łagodne i bezpieczne. 200 metrów dalej znajduje się wypożyczalnia sprzętu wodnego. Przy głównej plaży mało jest drzew dających cień, ale wystarczy odejść kawałek w lewo lub prawo i jest lepiej.

(Translated by Google) The lake and its surroundings are littered. This does not encourage walking and spending time on this beach. Participants of meetings at the lake leave behind piles of alcohol bottles, bottle caps and other garbage. (Original) Jezioro i jego otoczenie jest zaśmiecone. Nie zachęca to do spacerowania i spędzania czasu na tej plaży. Uczestnicy spotkań nad jeziorem zostawiają po sobie sterty butelek po alkoholach, kapsli i innych śmieci.

(Translated by Google) A nice lake near the estate, a grassy beach, no large garbage bins, a nightmare of cars parking almost on the beach even though there is plenty of parking space, the area is generally neglected, which is a great pity. (Original) Miłe jezioro niedaleko osiedla, plaża trawiasta, brak dużych koszy na śmieci, koszmar to samochody parkujące prawie na plaży pomimo, że miejsca do parkowania jest dużo, ogólnie teren zaniedbany a wielka szkoda.

(Translated by Google) After recent works related to the construction of the sewage system and the widening of the drainage, it was completely devastated on one side. In summer, when the weather is good, it is crowded, so I prefer winter... it is much quieter, but I still recommend it for a walk. (Original) Po ostatnich pracach związanych z budową kanalizacji i poszerzeniu odplywu została kompletnie zdewastowana z jednej strony.latem przy dobrej pogodzie jest tłoczno dlatego wolę zimę...jest dużo spokojniej,ale mimo wszystko polecam na spacer

(Translated by Google) Very nice place, gentle descent to the lake, wonderful views. Unfortunately, crowds of people, cars parked almost in the lake, lots of deaths, ubiquitous grills that people leave behind, cigarette remains, caps, bottles, cans. Massacre. (Original) Miejsce bardzo ładne, łagodne zejście do jeziora wspaniałe widoki. Niestety tłumy ludzi, auta zaparkowane prawie w jeziorze, mnóstwo śmierci, wszechobecne grile które potem ludzie pozostawiają, pozostałości po papierosach, kapsle, butelki, puszki. Masakra.

Liked the beach. Absolutely worth it! Been there with my homies, felt like home for us !

I love beaches for many reasons. As a nature lover, I find the sounds of the water soothing and calming. The cool breeze is simply heavenly. If you enjoy picnicking at the beach, I recommend trying this spot called "The Naked Beach." However, you might want to consider that name if you have kids.

The place is simply amazing, being free to take off all of your clothes and swimming suits and enjoy The beach, water and nice landscapes and views is priceless. Furthermore the surrounding Forest is beautiful and perfect for nice walk in shades of the trees.

Great beach. Lots of nudists on a warm day! Good mix of men, women and one family when I was there. Just be aware it is a decent walk from the bus stop and the dry sand is pretty hard to walk in. Recommend walking down the beach near the sea on the wet sand. Enjoy everyone!

Great place to relax and feel free. Very popular on sunny summer days especially weekends. Mixed crowd, men and women. Wide sandy beach with clean water. For those who a bit shy, they can find a some form of privacy at the dunes surrounding the beach itself.

A great nudist beach that was a bit awkward to get to but with the bike rental that cost 10PLN/h per bike it wasn't too bad. There weren't any creeps around, mostly men as to be expected but didn't get any feeling of being watched. Will definitely go again when in Gdańsk

Great view and naturalism place

We had a horrible experience with this tour. We had a party of four. Two of us had done Segway tours before. We were met by a guide who admitted she didn’t know much about the Segway, and would be guiding us by bicycle. We had no instruction or orientation before two of us were instructed to drive two Segways to another area to pick up the other machines. We were driving on narrow sidewalks and had to cross a construction area. We felt very unsafe. We then stopped to pick up the other machines. My wife had no instruction on how to get off the Segway, and when she tried to get off, the machine lurched forward and she fell very hard onto the ground injuring her elbows and had the wind knocked out of her. After 10-15 minutes she was able to walk with assistance to our transportation after which we were able to get medical attention. This was a very unorganized and dangerous experience. There was no instruction, no provision of helmets or safety vests and seemingly no accountability. I would not recommend this company.

If you want to learn to ride a segway this is good otherwise it was a very disappointing tour, Initially we were being sent with a non English Speaking tour guide. Not much good for 2 English speaking people, we then got an English speaking one who only seemed to want to take us out of the way of crowds but didn't tell us anything about the city and when I asked questions I was told that's just the way it is. Fun on the segways but definitely not a way to learn about the city

Great for everybody. Sightseeing on segways gives a lot of fun, recommending it so much!

Segway city tour, very nice guides, good english, highly recommended.

Segway tour was awsome!! Great guide

Segway Gdansk tour ok 1:5 h with guide

Great tour. So much fun

Oak forest surrounded clean sand beach. Toilets are a bit problematic, 5 zlt for toilets charge in cafes.

Super:

Best place to enjoy with your family

Had fun

Good for kids

Nice

No spoke no
