A wide beach
The beach at Świnoujście is exceptionally wide and sandy, with a gentle entry to the water — comfortable even at the height of the season. In summer there are lifeguarded bathing areas, hire places and food stalls.
The promenade to the border
- A cross-border walk — the promenade takes you to German Ahlbeck and beyond (Heringsdorf, Bansin)
- The Spa Park and the spa quarter along the way
- Cycling — a popular route along the coast on both sides of the border
- The piers of the neighbouring German resorts within walking or cycling distance
In practice
The border is open — an identity document is enough; on the German side the euro applies. A walk or ride to Ahlbeck and back is a classic item on the programme, giving you two resorts in one day.
