Chałupy between the Baltic Sea and Puck Bay
Accommodation in Chałupy
Chałupy is a seaside resort at the base of the Hel Peninsula, between the Baltic Sea and Puck Bay. The town combines the calm waters of the bay with a wide beach facing the open sea. Water sports, cycling and Kashubian boat traditions add further highlights. If you are choosing a destination on the Polish Baltic coast, these different aspects of Chałupy can help you decide what to focus on during your stay.
Puck Bay and the open sea
The waters of Puck Bay near Chałupy are shallow and calm, making them ideal for windsurfing. Chałupy also has a wide beach on the open-sea side. This means that the same seaside resort brings together calm, shallow bay waters and a wide beach on the open sea. When choosing your destination, you can consider which of these settings best suits your interests.
Water sports in Chałupy
The town has schools and rental outlets for water sports equipment. FunSurf operates a school and rental outlet at the pier for windsurfing, kitesurfing, wingfoiling and surfing. Alongside windsurfing, you can find other water sports to include in your travel plans. Water sports schools and rental outlets are seasonal services. If you are travelling for a particular sport, check in advance whether the relevant service is available on your travel dates.
Kashubian boat traditions and architecture
The “Kaszëbszczie bôtë pod żôglame” (“Kashubian Boats Under Sail”) festival takes place in Chałupy every year at the end of July. Visitors can watch regattas featuring old fishing boats, including Pomeranian boats, as well as rowboats, sailboats and punt boats. If you are interested in this tradition, the festival could be a reason to choose your travel dates. Check the specific event dates before your trip.
The Church of St. Anne in Chałupy also draws on a traditional architectural form: its structure is reminiscent of a checz, a traditional Kashubian fishing cottage. For those interested in culture, this architectural reference adds another local feature to the picture of the seaside resort.
Getting around by bike and train
The R10 cycling route runs along the Hel Peninsula through Chałupy, between Władysławowo and Kuźnica. Near the fishing harbour, there is a spot with bicycle racks, benches, a repair kit and an information board; from there, you can enjoy a view of the bay. Both the route and a place with practical amenities for cyclists can therefore help you find your way around Chałupy. The benches also make the bay view a possible stopping point.
Chałupy, like some of the other holiday resorts on the Hel Peninsula, has a railway connection. As well as the cycling route, you can therefore consider travelling by train when planning your journey. Check the service to match your travel dates.
