Discover Swarzewo on Puck Bay
Accommodation in Swarzewo
Swarzewo lies on Puck Bay between Puck and Władysławowo. The village can be considered as a place to stay through several specific themes: a marked trail, water sports, fishing culture and a church of particular religious significance. If you are planning a stay in Poland, you can compare Swarzewo’s local features with your own travel plans.

Bay Location and Coastal Landscape
The village’s location on Puck Bay is distinct from the landscape designation of the Szlak Swarzewski: the section of the trail from Swarzewo to Wielka Wieś in Władysławowo lies within Nadmorski Park Krajobrazowy, the Coastal Landscape Park. This places the bay, as the village’s geographical reference point, alongside the park as a feature of this trail section.
On the Szlak Swarzewski
The yellow-marked Szlak Swarzewski connects Puck and Władysławowo over 11.7 kilometres and passes through Swarzewo roughly halfway along its route. The total distance describes the connection between the two towns, not just the section through the village. On Rybacka Street, the trail passes the historic chapel and its well; Swarzewo’s church is listed as a waypoint at kilometre 6.7. The trail was completely renewed in 2022. For navigating the route described here, the chapel and church are two specific stops along the village section.
Church, Tradition and Fishing Culture
The church dates from the late 19th century and is the Sanctuary of Our Lady, Queen of the Polish Sea. A local tradition is also associated with the chapel and its well: it is said to be the place where the figure of Pani Swarzewska was found. A small open-air fishing museum adds a distinct cultural dimension. In Swarzewo, religious history and fishing can therefore be encountered in different places and contexts.
Harbour and Seasonal Water Sports
Swarzewo has a fishing harbour with a pier. There is a landing stage on Swarzewo’s pier where kayaks or sailboats can be moored. The water sports station operates seasonally; its summer offerings include sailboats, kayaks and pedal boats. Check in advance which options are available during your travel dates. Swarzewo also has a windsurfing school, which operates seasonally. The village thus brings together various water sports, from the windsurfing school to the boats at the water sports station.
Corn Maze and Fresh Fish
The corn maze in the maize field covers 2.5 hectares, and its total path length is 3,500 metres. These figures give the maze a different scale from the 11.7-kilometre Szlak Swarzewski between Puck and Władysławowo: here, they describe the area and paths within an attraction, while there they describe a route between two towns. If you are weighing up a local attraction against a longer connection, this difference offers a concrete comparison.
Fishing is also part of the local cuisine: in Swarzewo, there are places where you can try fresh fish caught by local fishermen. Along with the fishing harbour and the small open-air museum, this offers another way to explore the local fishing theme.
