Mrzezyno: Beach, Harbor and Maritime History

Beaches, Dunes and Coastal Paths

The beaches are wide and covered with fine sand. Offshore sandbanks create safe swimming areas that are not very deep. Dunes and pine forests are also part of the local coastal landscape; they belong to the Trzebiatów–Kołobrzeg coastal strip, which is protected under the Natura 2000 network. In Mrzezyno, swimming areas and a protected landscape meet. To the west, in the surrounding area, lies the “Nadmorski Bór Bażynowy” reserve, characterized by wind-shaped forms and crowberry.

Active on the Water and on the Move

Windsurfing and kitesurfing are among the water sports available on the beaches of Mrzezyno. Coastal cycling routes also continue inland, connecting the town with neighboring places. Detailed route conditions can change; check them before setting out on a specific bike ride. Nearby, the Rega is a tourist route for canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding. The activities differ in their connection to the area: cycling routes link coastal towns, while canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding bring the Rega into focus.

The harbor serves sea yachts and fishing boats; excursion boats can also dock there. From Mrzezyno, excursion boats offer cod fishing trips. If you are planning such a trip, check the available dates.

Church, Monuments and Local History

The Church of St. Peter and Paul in Mrzezyno was built between 1900 and 1912. Its presbytery features glass mosaics by Prof. Henryk Burzec. The stained-glass windows by Maria Powalisz-Bardońska of Poznań depict “sea flowers.”

The “Wedding to the Sea” monument commemorates the first postwar Polish ceremony of that name, which took place in Mrzezyno on March 17, 1945. Every year, the Trzebiatów municipality holds commemorative events at the monument, including a historical reenactment; dates and programs may vary. Another monument, “Tym, którzy nie powrócili z morza” (“To Those Who Did Not Return from the Sea”), commemorates fishermen who died while working at sea. Smaller blocks bearing fishing boat numbers and fishermen’s names stand alongside the main monument.

Chata Rybaka (Fisherman’s Cottage) is also part of the town’s history and is one of its oldest surviving buildings. It was probably built toward the end of the 18th century and remodeled in the 1920s. The restored house now houses a restaurant where guests can try local specialties. Check current opening hours before visiting. Here you can encounter different traces of history: a church and its furnishings, monuments to maritime remembrance, and an old fisherman’s house that is now used for dining.

Fish and a Promenade

Smokehouses and fish fry shops in Mrzezyno serve freshly prepared fish dishes. At the landing, flounder and turbot are offered for sale directly from fishing boats. Individual businesses and vendors, as well as availability, may vary; check opening hours and the specific selection in advance. Mrzezyno also has a promenade known as the “promenadę brwinowską.”
