You probably associate a trip to the Polish seaside with the middle of a hot summer. Usually over Baltic you go in the summer, while winter seaside is not a bad idea at all. It is worth considering spending at least a few days on the Baltic Sea during the colder months. A good excuse to go to the seaside is the upcoming Christmas and Sylvester 2021/2022. While most choose to spend time in the mountains during this period, a trip to the sea in winter can be an interesting alternative. Especially if you and your loved ones are not fond of crowds. Here are 5 reasons why it is worth going to the The Baltic Sea in winter.
Winter at the seaside, or clean air
Air quality in most parts of our country leaves a lot to be desired, to put it mildly. In terms of air cleanliness, Poland is sometimes referred to as the China of Europe. In the top 5 most polluted cities in Poland include: Opoczno, Żywiec, Rybnik, Pszczyna, Krakow. So where do you find clean air in Poland? The first place among the cleanest cities in Poland is occupied by Gdynia, and the other - Sopot. In third place on the podium is Szklarska Porebaand already off the podium are Słupsk i Suwałki. As you can see, you will find clean air above all at the Baltic Sea. This is one of the main reasons why you should go in winter by the sea.
Winter at the seaside then fewer tourists
For a moment, think back to your recent holidays in the Baltic Sea. At this point, you most likely thought of a beach that was crowded to the limit. If you got up later, finding even a piece of free space bordered on the miraculous. When you finally managed to do so, you noticed the rubbish left around. After several hours spent in the water and on the sunbathing you got hungry. You decided to go for a dinner at a restaurant recommended by a friend. Upon arrival, you found that there was no free table either inside or outside. You were discouraged and went to the first best food stall, where you paid a fortune for a small portion.
Similar stories are unfortunately not uncommon. Summer polish coast is experiencing a siege. For this reason, some people avoid Baltic by a wide margin. If you, too, have had enough of the crowds, come over the sea in winter. The beach or the restaurants will not be overcrowded. You will experience peace and quiet and it will be much easier to carry out your plans, including sightseeing.
Find incomparably cheaper accommodation by the sea
You are probably well aware that during the peak season, hotels and flats by the sea are packed to the brim. Accommodation prices can be dizzying. In winter, on the other hand, when it is mostly locals who stay in the seaside towns, you will pay much less for accommodation. Even flats with sea view are offered at affordable prices. Often guesthouses and hotels offer favourable packages, including food and spa treatments. Even accommodation facilities located within walking distance of the sea, including flats with a view out to seaare affordable for everyone during this period, as there are fewer people wanting to book a stay and prices encourage people to do so.
The Baltic Sea in winter looks beautiful in the photographs
The idea of going to the sea in winter should also appeal to photography enthusiasts. Think about capturing raging sea waves against a steel-grey sky or birds strolling along a deserted beach. Or perhaps you can find beauty in a deserted pier or frozen crags floating by the shore? Nature inspires most, and The Baltic Sea in winter is a dream location. Interesting places by the sea are not crowded in winter, so you can take interesting photographs without rushing.
Find the discarded beach amber
The beautiful stones, usually yellowish or slightly brown in colour, have been appreciated for centuries. Did you know that Baltic amber is one of almost 60 varieties of amber? It can be found off the southern coast of the Baltic Sea. In Poland amber are found, inter alia, in the vicinity of Gulf of Gdansk, Vistula Spit and at the base of the Hel Spit. Interestingly, amber fishermen go to the seaside mainly in winter and early spring, when the water temperature fluctuates around 0-4 degrees Celsius. If you are lucky, during a winter walk along the beach you will come across amber thrown up by the sea.
In winter see places of interest by the sea
Trip over sea in winter has many advantages. Lower prices in hotels and restaurants, lack of crowds, fresh air, or interesting outdoor locations are just some of them. In winter, it is worthwhile to visit places of interest by the seaand there is no shortage of these. A trip in summer usually ends with just swimming and sunbathing, while sightseeing is not always successful. In winter, the temptation to enter the sea is undoubtedly weaker - unless you are walrus. This allows you to look at seaside towns from a slightly different perspective - through the prism of architecture, monuments or interesting viewpoints.
