Beaches in Ustka – east and west, which one to choose?

Ustka is divided in half by the port and the mouth of the Słupia River , with beaches stretching along both sides: east and west . Both are wide and sandy, but have different character. Here's how to choose the one that best suits your plans.

East Beach

The eastern side is usually more touristy —closer to the pier, promenade, restaurants, and most vacation rentals. It's a good choice if you want everything at your fingertips: ice cream, a fish and chip shop, and beach equipment rentals all within walking distance.

West Beach

The west side is quieter and is often chosen by those seeking peace and quiet. The further away from the entrance, the less crowded it is—a plus for families with small children and those who value space. From here, it's also closer to the coastal forest and the Blücher Battery.

How to get between beaches

A rotating pedestrian and bicycle bridge over the port connects both sides. It's not just a crossing, but also an attraction—during the season, the bridge rotates at specific times to allow vessels entering and leaving the port. Crossing one beach to the other takes a short walk through the port.

Which one to choose?

• You want to be close to the pier and attractions → eastern beach.
• Looking for peace and space → west beach, further from the entrance.
• First time in Ustka → see both and stop on the footbridge when it rotates.

Regardless of the side, remember to swim only in areas supervised by lifeguards and check the flags at the swimming area.
