💡 Tips

  • Take the train from the Tri-City area to avoid the notorious summer traffic jams on the narrow Hel Peninsula road.
  • Puck Bay is shallow and mostly flat, making it one of Europe's top spots for beginner windsurfers and kitesurfers.
  • The beach has a famous historic naturist section; pay attention to the signs so you know which part you are entering.
  • Even on warm summer days, a windbreaker is highly recommended due to the strong Baltic breezes.

Located on the narrow Hel Peninsula in northern Poland, Chałupy is a small Kashubian village that has grown into one of the country's most celebrated seaside destinations. Framed by the open Baltic Sea on one side and the shallow Puck Bay on the other, the village gives a uniquely diverse coastal environment. Historically a quiet fishing settlement, Chałupy gained widespread cultural fame in Poland during the 1980s thanks to a popular song by Zbigniew Wodecki. The village is synonymous with pristine shores, most notably the Kąpielisko w Chałupach and the legendary Plaża nudystów w Chałupach. The Kąpielisko w Chałupach provides an excellent, well-maintained seaside resort area on the Baltic side, featuring wide stretches of fine, white sand. Further down the coast lies the Plaża nudystów w Chałupach, one of the oldest and most famous naturist beaches in Poland, enveloped by scenic sand dunes and pine forests. Thanks to the shallow, windy waters of the adjacent Puck Bay, Chałupy is also a premier European destination for windsurfing and kitesurfing. The bay's calm surface and steady breezes create convenient conditions for beginners and professionals alike.
