Straddling the banks of River Świna, Świnoujście – an important fishing port in Poland – boasts one of the widest shorelines in the country. The city is home to a stretching golden beach that makes for a great evening stroll with sprawling views of the Baltic Sea.
Apart from scenic coastlines, Świnoujście is also home to several attractions of great historical value. One such site is Fort Gerhard, a defensive structure on Wolin Island built in the 19th century. Restored to become the Coastal Defense Museum, this spot showcases more than 2,000 documents and photos detailing the history of the town's forts and other relics. Another place of interest is the Museum of Sea Fishery, where there are displays of stuffed albatrosses, sharks and seals, alongside fish tanks and a coral aquarium.
You can start exploring Świnoujście at the Stawa Młyny – the city's official emblem that's often featured on postcards. This 19th-century windmill-shaped beacon stands on the Baltic coast and acts as a signal for incoming vessels. Other iconic structures in the city include Świnoujście Lighthouse – one of the tallest brick lighthouses in the world, and Park Zdrojowy, a large green space with fountains, ponds and walking trails.

Swinoujscie is a very nice place with a beautiful sandy beach. However, whether you are satisfied or not depends on your accommodation as well. Unfortunately, this accommodation was horrible and the stay was not as nice as it should be.

Surprisingly nice place with a lot to do - beach, promenade, amazing food (try Kurna Chata!), lighthouses, huge beautiful park, underground city.. I recommend going by car and visit the surrounding towns as well, there are gems such as a huge submarine.

Although Swinoujscie is a small city, there is still a lot to see and experience. To only stay over a weekend was too short for us. If you cannot speak Polish or German it will be a bit of a language barrier but with Google Translate you can get quite far. You must visit the Thai Massage Studio for great relaxation. Do not forget to visit the border market that is close to Thai Massage Studio. It is a long market that stretches almost all the way to Germany. Do not forget to bring Zlozky since most shops do not take card! If you want to see the city rent one of the electric scooters that are placed around the city, you just need to download an app to start using them. If you do not like electric scooters it is quite easy to use the bus around the city during day time as well.

Touristy, with lots of new shops and cafes, a mall in the center of town, variety with the harbor on one side and the beach on the other. Even in high season, the chance to catch the beach almost deserted early in the morning.
Great place to be on the Polish seaside for a weekend!

Great place to be on the Polish seaside for a weekend! Good combination of the beach plus sightseeing possibilities in the city. Nice atmosphere of an old style resort coupled with modern developments of the very recent past. Great history of the town is kind of 'cherry on the cake' in there! :)

Beautiful resort with wide sandy beach, family friendly with lots to do and see. Best place for cycling and visiting Germany without having to use car. The island itself is a nature reserve and covered in trees, forests and parks.
