When you mention the Polish seaside town of Łeba (pronounced “way-bah” ) to tourists, most people immediately think of the beautiful beaches and the stunning Polish Baltic Coast. It’s an area which features sand dunes, beaches, lakes, a nature reserve and forests. However, away from the coastal and natural activities, Łeba has a lot more to offer for the tourist, and this concise list outlines the town’s selling points in a nutshell.

The main street in Łeba is Nadmorska Street, a pulsating hub during summer months. Eat as much good Lody (ice cream) as you want, try Belgian waffles, American-style burgers, Polish fish or Italian pizza. Browse the shops for souvenirs or beach items like buckets and spades, inflatables and snorkelling equipment. The street also has lots of hotels, bars and restaurants and is just a few minutes walk from the beach.

5. Eat pierogi in a typical Pierogarnia

Restaurant

Almost every tourist to Poland goes away raving about how good the pierogi (Polish dumplings, plural) are. Here in Łeba, it is advised to try some pierogi with fish in it since fishermen here catch some tasty Baltic sea ryby (Polish for fish). Wash it down with an ice cold beer and treat yourself to a soup for starters. There are many pierogi venues in Łeba, you can find them with the title Pierogarnia above the restaurant.

For many visitors to Łeba, a visit to the nearby Słowiński National Park is an unforgettable highlight. Be ready for not just one of Poland’s best National Parks, but a UNESCO listed biosphere reserve and an area of truly outstanding natural beauty. Gaze in awe as these sand dunes scale the Baltic Coast, moving, ever-changing from day to day, providing you with travel photos to boast about to your peers. Some Polish people even refer to the sand dunes at Słowiński as Poland’s “desert.”

7. Cycle through the forest at Słowiński National Park

Park, Forest

In 1977 UNESCO designated the entire Słowiński National Park as a biosphere reserve, and the wetlands were designated a Ramsar site in 1995. Combine your trip to the sand dunes with a cycling tour through the magical and dense forest where breathtaking views can be witnessed all around. On your cycle there are also viewpoints over the gorgeous lakes. It’s a treat for any nature lovers.

8. Get close to sea lions at Sea Park Sarbsk
