Swimming in the Baltic Sea: A Refreshing Escape in Gdańsk

#springwander Taking a dip in the Baltic Sea near Gdańsk was an unforgettable experience. The city’s beaches, especially in Jelitkowo and Brzeźno, offer a perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. The water was cooler than in southern Europe, but after a few minutes, it became incredibly refreshing. I arrived at the beach early in the morning when the crowds were still small. The soft golden sand and gentle waves created a peaceful atmosphere. As I stepped into the sea, the crisp water was invigorating, especially on a warm summer day. After swimming, I took a break at a beach café, enjoying a fresh waffle and coffee while watching windsurfers and kiteboarders in the distance. Later in the afternoon, the beach became livelier, with families, sunbathers, and groups playing beach volleyball. The sunset over the sea was spectacular, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink. Swimming in the Baltic near Gdańsk was a refreshing contrast to other seaside experiences—less commercialized but just as beautiful. It’s the perfect place to unwind, connect with nature, and enjoy Poland’s stunning coastline. #Gdańsk #BalticSea #BeachVibes
