The history of the harbour and fishing

The Museum of Sea Fishing tells the history of the harbour at Świnoujście and of a life bound closely to the sea — from fishing through maritime crafts to the everyday life of a coastal town. It is a good complement to a beach-and-fort programme on a wet day.

What to see

  • Fishing gear and boats — the equipment of a seafaring craft
  • The history of the harbour — the growth of a town by the sea
  • Themed exhibitions — the nature and life of the Baltic
  • In the centre — easily combined with a beach programme

In practice

A good choice in bad weather and for families with children. Tickets and hours are seasonal — check before your visit. A visit usually takes about an hour.
