A village with character
Chłopy has kept the character of a fishing settlement. Instead of a conventional harbour, the boats and cutters are hauled onto the beach with winches — an increasingly rare sight on the Polish coast. That makes the village a favourite for walks and photographs, especially early in the morning when the fishermen come back from the catch.
Fish and the beach
By the landing and around it you can buy fresh fish and try it at the fry stalls. The beach at Chłopy is quieter than at Mielno — a good choice for anyone looking for maritime authenticity away from the resort bustle.
