For rainy days Niechorze offers a fishing museum, a butterfly house, a mini zoo and an open-air museum: four places for when the seaside weather fails.
The selection suits families and curious visitors. Two places carry the solo tag and two the family tag. The rest of the village is under things to do in Niechorze, and wet-weather ideas for the whole region are listed in rainy-day attractions in West Pomerania.
The Sea Fishing Museum and the Butterfly House are indoors. One tells of the fishermen's work, in the other exotic butterflies fly free.
The Sea Fishing Museum occupies a 1930s villa left by German owners at Aleja Bursztynowa 28. It collects fishing gear and amber, and boats stand outside. The Butterfly House at Polna 30 keeps a tropical climate whatever the weather, and the butterflies fly freely right beside visitors. Further sights of the village are covered by Niechorze beyond the lighthouse.
In lighter rain you can choose the Ethnographic Park or the Donkey Szot mini zoo. Both are outdoors, so bring jackets.
The Ethnographic Park is a skansen beneath the lighthouse, on Ludna Street. Fishermen's cottages and a post windmill of 1843 stand there. Donkey Szot lies in Rogozina, a few kilometres from Niechorze. More than 200 animals live there, among them donkeys, alpacas and llamas, and there is a playground for children. A different way along the coast is the line covered in The Coastal Narrow-Gauge Railway, worth a look if the sky clears.
