Vacation Rentals in Polish Baltic Sea

A holiday home with enough space for the whole family can be found along the entire Polish Baltic coast. Just a few hundred metres from the beach you will find the seaside resort of Kolberg (Kolobrzeg in Polish). At the edge of the harbour town lies a holiday home area with well-kept wooden houses. The houses have a garden, balcony and barbecue area and are equipped with an Internet connection. In Leba you live in spacious wooden houses directly in the Slowinski National Park. Modern, bright bungalows can be found in Kashubia.

A holiday apartment in the seaside resorts along the Polish Baltic coast combines central location with direct proximity to the beach. You can discover modern apartment complexes for example in the "Kaiserbad" Swinemünde (Swinoujscie) on the island Wolin (Wollin). The apartments offer space for two to six people and luxurious furnishings. Large swimming pools are usually located directly in the house. Just as comfortable is your stay a few kilometres further east in the seaside resort of Misdroy (Miedzyzdroje). From the balcony of the apartments you can enjoy the view over the beach.

If you want to combine a beach holiday with a city trip, take a holiday home or an apartment in the Gdansk region. At the harbour you will discover lavishly restored historic buildings and modern apartment complexes. Equipped with two bedrooms, a kitchenette and a bathroom, the apartments offer space for up to four people. From the sun terrace you can watch the ships in the harbour. A few kilometres further east, on the banks of the Mottlau River, you will find holiday resorts with comfortable bungalows.

The Polish Baltic Sea coast stretches over a length of about 500 kilometres. It extends from the Polish side of the island of Usedom in the west to Sopot in the east. The largest island in the Polish Baltic Sea is Wolin, located directly on the border with Germany. To the east is the small peninsula of Hel. In administrative terms, the Polish Baltic Sea belongs to Pomerania, West Pomerania and Warmia-Masuria.

Along the Polish Baltic coast there are many former German seaside resorts such as Swinemünde on the islands of Usedom, Wolin and Kaseburg. Other seaside resorts are Misdroy, Kolberg and Gdansk. Many of the cities are still popular health resorts. Between the seaside resorts, the chalk cliffs of the steep coast alternate with flat coastal sections and long sandy beaches. Pine and beech forests partly reach up to the beach.

Many travellers are drawn to the historic seaside resorts for a beach holiday. In the "Kaiserbad" Swinemünde, bathers can look out over the sea from their beach chairs. The flat sandy beach of Misdroy with its lively promenade is popular with families. The beach of Leba is characterised by high shifting dunes. In the seaside resort of Kolberg, green rocks rise up to the beach, while bathers stock up on souvenirs at the beach promenade.

In the holiday home at the Polish Baltic Sea is usually also the family dog welcome. From 1 June to 30 September most beaches have a general ban on dogs. In Swinemünde, however, there is a special dog beach in the area of the breakwater. In Misdroy the dog beach is located west of the Baginski & Chabinka hotels, in Kolberg east of the Podczele district. In the municipality Rewal (Rewahl) there are altogether ten beach sections, at which dogs with owners may bathe.

Discover the highest lighthouse in the Baltic Sea in the seaside resort of Swinemünde. The 68 metre high tower is located on the east bank of the Swina on the island of Wolin. The construction of the tower began in 1854 and when it was put into operation on 1 January 1859, it was the first lighthouse built of ceramic bricks with a height of more than 50 metres. The base houses the Museum of Lighthouse Life and Sea Rescue.

The Slowinski National Park extends between Leba and Rowy in Pomerania. To the north it borders the Baltic Sea for 32.5 kilometres. The National Park has been a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 1977. Four shallow coastal lakes surrounded by shifting dunes lie in the former sea bay and form the habitat for a species-rich fauna and flora.

The peninsula Hel (Hela), which is only 200 meters wide, extends in front of the bay of Gdansk. Off the coast there are some sunken shipwrecks which are a popular destination for diving trips. The 35 kilometre long peninsula is also considered one of the best kitesurfing areas in Europe.

The port and Hanseatic city of Gdansk lies on the Mottlau River. The old town was heavily destroyed in the Second World War, but rebuilt in the historical style. A stroll through the town takes you along Mariacka Street or Frauengasse Street with its numerous amber boutiques to the Gdansk Amber Museum. The ul. Dluga or Langgasse line historic patrician houses. In summer, open-air festivals take place on the Dlugi Targ, the Long Market.

Traditional Polish cuisine and fresh fish in an extraordinary atmosphere are served by the "Henkershaus" Domek Kata in the old town of Kolberg. The antique furniture creates an almost royal ambience. If you prefer to cook in your holiday apartment, you can stock up on freshly caught seafood at the Kolberg fish market at the fishing harbour.
