- Martina MNingbo, China53 contributionsGreat for walksGreat long beach for walking, jogging, photo shooting or just taking your time watching the sea and boats. But the sea Is quite dirty, sadly, And full of algae. If you want to swim, visit the Hel peninsula, it's much better.Visited May 2024Traveled with familyWritten May 13, 2024
- LOTripsMumbai, India381 contributionsNice beach, needs more facilitiesWe went in May end. The water was cold but it was amazingly sunny and kid loved the sand play and the park right beside it. This beach needs public shower facilities to be open in May itself, weather is conduciveVisited June 2024Traveled with familyWritten June 3, 2024
- EmelieNorway3 contributionsDay at the beachNice and large beach that stretches far. Nice that there are different areas with different prices for sunbeds/parasols. Nice that there are cheaper options available. Looks like prices can vary from day to day tho. The only negative is that the lifeguards did not speak English. One of the days the lifeguards drove past in a boat to say that there was no possibility of swimming, but did not explain why in English. Seemed to be several confused tourists.Visited June 2024Traveled with familyWritten July 5, 2024

The Sopot beach is beautiful, but the Baltic is cold. It has a great view to enjoy and is perfect for an afternoon to lounge in the sun. June, July and August will be the best times to visit. Other times of the year, one might find rain or in the winter snow.

Sopit beach is fantastic. There are loads of bars available along the stretch which aren't too busy. The beach itself is quite busy, but there is plenty of space to sunbathe if you wish. Would highly recommend. Water was a little cold for me to enjoy, but plenty of people enjoying it!

I don't understand how this beach can be so popular. The water is black and incredibly dirty, and only kids and a few daredevils swim in it. The beach itself is terribly crowded, you wait forever for everything and forget about sunbeds or umbrellas, you'll be glad if you can find a bit of space in the sand.

Sopot is one of the Tricity towns - Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia. The latter two lie directly on the Baltic sea so we took half a day excursion.
Sopot is considered main Polish beach town, but I found it pretty boring (at least in March). Beach is long and wide with golden sand. It was nice to have an hour walk, but I doubt I'd swim here even in summer season.

Large sandy beach in the town of Sopot, Poland on the Baltic coast.
Sopot is a beautiful town on the Baltic coast of Poland with large sandy beaches that seem to stretch for miles.
We visited the town and beach on a chilly rainy day so no beach time for us. We did get to walk the wooden pier and view the beaches. Beautiful coastline.
Worth the trip to such a sweet small town.

The place is very wide and nice in order to take a beach walk. You can see the Baltic Sea and even sit down and have a pic nic. However I would not recommend getting in the water it is not quite clean and looks kind old black anyways.

The beach was very lovely and I enjoyed it a lot. It was very clean, with no foul smells or anything. There are several restaurants on the beach, a kids play area, bathrooms, and even some saunas. You can just walk on the beach in the winter and still have things to do to entertain yourself with.

The centre is the spa which looks out to sea. There is a long pier from which you can see Gdansk further down the coast.The chimney for the spas boilers is disguised as a lighthouse which you can climb.
Lots of nice bars and bakery/coffee shops.
Excellent bus and rail connections.
Probably very crowded in summer.

Hi how long did take to walk from Gdynia to Sopot please
Written December 6, 2018
From Sopot pier to the centre of Gdynia is about 6 miles, so it will depend on your walking pace ( between 2 to 2.5 hours ) By car it would take 12 minutes. The train is the easiest option .

Hvorfor er vannet blitt sĂĄ forurenset at det er stengt for bading, og hvor lenge vil det vare?
Written July 24, 2018
Det er ett telefonnummer øverst på siden du kan ringe. Det er øverst på siden her.. Det hotellet evn du bor på vet kanskje noe. Eller være behjelpelig å finne ut av det for deg.

Is it possible to rent sunbeds on the beach?
Written February 4, 2018
Hei. Jeg er ikke sikker pĂĄ om man kan leie senger pĂĄ stranda her.
Selve strandsonen er veldig lang, så det ville vært rart om man ikke kunne leie senger et eller annet sted. Muligens leier noen av hotellene ut senger, men det er kanskje bare til egne gjester?
De gangene jeg har vært i Sopot har vært i høstmånedene, og da har jo badesesongen sluttet for lengst. Men om du kontakter det lokale turistkontoret i Sopot, får du helt sikkert svar på spørsmålet.

Vad kostat det att hyra solsängar i Sopot?/mvh Cina
Written August 6, 2017
Vi betalade 100 zloty för två solstolar och ett parasoll (som vi hyrde hela dagen). På hotellens egna delar av stranden kostade samma sak 300 zloty för en dag, gick därför cirka 50-100 meter bort till ett ställe som heter Smak Morza.

Czy kladka dla pieszych laczaca ulice Westerplatte jest aby bezpieczna? Zadaje to pytanie poniewaz martwia mnie drgania jakie wystepuja kiedy przechodzi grupa ludzi lub przebiegnie dziecko. Drgania na tyle sa intensywne ze widac golym okiem jak balansuja slupy z oswietleniem.
Written October 20, 2016
Wiele razy przechodziłam tą kładką, także z dzieckiem, i nigdy nie odczułam, by była ona niebezpieczna. Myślę, że nie ma się o co martwić.
