Lighthouses and ports in West Pomerania: over twenty lighthouses, marinas and harbours, from Świnoujście to Darłówko, with sea views.
This is a set for couples and solo travellers who like technical heritage, views and a walk along the quay. You will find lighthouses open to visitors, seaports, marinas on the Szczecin Lagoon and fishing harbours with colourful cutters. Almost every place carries the "Piękne widoki" (scenic views) tag.
Lighthouses in Świnoujście, Niechorze, Jarosławiec, Gąski, Darłówko and Kołobrzeg are open for climbing. The Kikut lighthouse in Wolin National Park is closed to visitors, but a forest trail leads to it.
The Świnoujście Lighthouse stands in the Warszów district, is the tallest on the Polish coast according to Wikipedia, and has 308 steps. The brick lighthouse in Niechorze from 1866 stands on a cliff, is 45 m high and has a viewing terrace up 208 steps. The lighthouse in Jarosławiec is a brick tower from 1838, 33.3 m high, standing in the village itself. See also the article about the two towers in Jarosławiec.
In Gąski a brick tower from 1876-1878 has a viewing terrace up 190 steps and belongs to the lighthouses of the Slovincian Coast. The lighthouse in Darłówko, built in 1885 and raised in 1927, stands at the mouth of the Wieprza. In Kołobrzeg the lighthouse from 1945 stands on the main platform of a former fort above Pomerania Bay. The Świnoujście lighthouse has its own article, from a wooden tower to the crack of 1945.
The Kikut Lighthouse from 1962 was converted from a viewing tower on the Strażnica hill near Wisełka. It has no permanent crew and cannot be entered, so it is a destination for a walk. Its story is told in the article Kikut.
In Niechorze a miniature park stands next to the lighthouse, and a fishing museum and an open-air museum operate nearby. It is a place where the lighthouse combines easily with a short walk along the coast.
The Park Miniatur Latarni Morskich (Lighthouse Miniature Park) lets you walk the whole Polish Baltic coast, from Krynica Morska to Świnoujście, in under an hour. The models at a scale of one to ten show working, historic and ruined lighthouses, and a guide leads visitors in three languages. Other sights are described in the article Niechorze beyond the lighthouse. With children you can also visit the amusement parks covered in the text Amusement parks in the region.
In Świnoujście the list has three places: a lighthouse, a canal and a navigation mark. They lie close together, so they fit into one day along with the promenade.
Stawa Młyny (Mills Beacon) is a white ten-metre navigation mark shaped like a windmill with a black roof, standing at the end of the West Breakwater. It was built in 1873-1874 and is a symbol of the town. The Piast Canal was dug in 1874-1880 across Uznam between the Świna and the Szczecin Lagoon as part of the Świnoujście-Szczecin fairway; it cut Karsibór off from the rest of the island. A short plan for the islands is in the article Weekend on the islands. The whole shoreline is covered by the category Beaches and coast.
Small harbours and fishing harbours lie in Dziwnów, Dźwirzyno, Chłopy, Unieście and Wapnica. Colourful cutters stand by the beaches, and in a few places you can buy fresh fish.
Port Dziwnów is a sea and fishing port on a spit, with two breakwaters, a passenger quay and seasonal cruises to Kamień Pomorski. The Dźwirzyno seaport is a small fishing and yacht harbour at the mouth of the channel from Lake Resko Przymorskie to the Baltic. The fishing harbour in Chłopy lies by the beach in the village centre, with colourful cutters and fish smokehouses. On the spit that separates the Baltic from Lake Jamno lies the fishing harbour in Unieście: cutters on the beach and freshly caught fish. In Wapnica a small seaport sits on the eastern shore of Lake Wicko Wielkie, with a marina for 52 boats.
Marinas cluster on the Szczecin Lagoon and in Szczecin's Dąbie district. They suit sailors, but also people looking for kayak rental and a waterside walk.
In Szczecin, in the Dąbie district, there are four places: Marina Pogoń on Przestrzenna Street with a harbour tavern and sailing courses, the Sailing Centre with a landing stage, kayak rental and cruises, the Marina Dąbie Yacht Harbour with a campsite and water equipment rental, and Marina Lubczyna with a bathing area and rental of boats, kayaks and SUP boards. More about Szczecin's harbours is on the page Lighthouses and ports: Szczecin, and about the district on Lighthouses and ports: Dąbie.
On the Lagoon lie Marina Trzebież with a campsite and charters and Marina Kopice, done in a pirate style, with water equipment rental and sailing trips. In Stepnica there is a landing stage on the Mill Canal with benches and a paved road 500 m from the centre. The large Kamień Pomorski Marina has over 290 berths and lies by the Old Town, while Marina Wapnica at the mouth of the Lagoon has 52 berths, surrounded by Wolin National Park.
The easiest way is to pick a stretch of coast. In the west that is Świnoujście, Wolin and Dziwnów, in the middle Niechorze, Kołobrzeg and Dźwirzyno, in the east Darłówko, Jarosławiec and Gąski.
A coastal trip is complemented by hills and trails, viewpoints and spa towns. Families will like the section For children, and history lovers historic sites.
