💡 Tips

  • Take the tram (lines 3 or 5) from central Gdańsk for a cheap, direct route straight to the beach.
  • The Brzeźno Pier (Molo w Brzeźnie) is free to access year-round, unlike the famous pier in nearby Sopot.
  • Rent a bicycle: the coastal bike path is excellent and quickly connects Brzeźno to Sopot.
  • Arrive at the beach before 10 AM on summer weekends to secure a good spot before the city crowds descend.
