The Sopot cliff and Kamienny Potok

At the northern end of Sopot, around Kamienny Potok, the shore rises into a wooded coastal escarpment — the quiet, natural side of the resort, ideal for walks away from the bustle.

The resort's natural side

In the north of Sopot, around Kamienny Potok, the wide sandy beach gives way to a wooded escarpment. This is the quieter side of the town, closer to nature — away from the pier and the Monciak, with paths through the coastal woods.

Walks and views

  • Paths through the coastal woods — along the escarpment
  • A view of the Baltic from the higher points
  • A quieter beach than in the centre of town
  • Getting there by SKM railway (Kamienny Potok station)

Worth knowing

A good alternative on a crowded summer day — it is noticeably quieter here. Comfortable shoes for the woodland paths; take care at the edge of the escarpment (there is a risk of slips, so keep to the marked routes).
