💡 Tips

  • Watch the impressive drawbridge over the Dziwna river; it lifts for passing ships at scheduled times, halting road traffic.
  • You can take a pirate-themed tourist ship cruise from the harbor to the Kamieński Lagoon or the Baltic Sea.
  • The beach is separated from the town by a pine forest strip; use the designated wooden pathways to cross over the dunes safely.
  • If the sea is too rough, the lagoon side has calmer waters and a nice walking promenade.

Dziwnów is situated on a narrow spit of land surrounded by the sea and the Kamień Pomorski Lagoon. Its most prominent landmark is the electric drawbridge over the Dziwna River, which attracts crowds of onlookers every time it opens for maritime traffic. The town has a long tradition as a brine spa and is today a modern hub for water sports. Dziwnów's harbor serves as the departure point for cruises on themed pirate ships that take tourists out onto the open Baltic Sea. Along the docks, you can purchase fish that is either freshly caught or smoked right on the fishing cutters. For families, the Park of Miniatures and Lighthouses gives an interesting insight into the architecture of the entire Polish coast. The extensive beaches are sheltered by coastal forests, providing ample space for relaxation. Culinary highlights include local fish restaurants serving traditional Polish fish soup. Access is via the S3 expressway and then local roads. July and August are the busiest months, while sailors and spa guests tend to prefer the quieter conditions of May and September.
