Chłopy: Beach, Dunes and Fishing Harbour

Beach, Dunes and Fishing Harbour

Chłopy has a clean beach and high dunes. If you want to make a coastal stay the focus of your trip, you can take these two features of the town into account when planning. The fishing harbour adds a tangible insight into local fishing to the coastal setting: it is home to twelve fishing boats belonging to individual fishermen who fish in coastal waters.

The harbour is also of interest to cyclists: it is one of the listed attractions along the Velo Baltica R10 route. Fresh and smoked fish are also available at the harbour. If you’re planning to buy some, check in advance whether it’s available. There is also a 90-metre-long, two-storey pier at ul. Kapitańska 47. It has stood there since 2015.

Fishing History and Hands-on Activities

A historic trail runs along ul. Kapitańska in Chłopy. Information boards display old photographs and a map of the settlement from 1930. Several half-timbered buildings from the 19th century add to this glimpse into the town’s history. Together, the trail and the buildings offer two different ways to explore the past: the photographs and map provide a historical overview, while the half-timbering is a distinctive architectural feature of the town.

At Skarbnica Wioski Rybackiej, you can experience a multimedia simulation of a storm aboard a fishing boat and try on historical clothing. Younger visitors can also put together puzzles, take a quiz and use the play area. The facility is fully equipped for visitors with disabilities. It is accessible, with wide passageways between exhibits, a wheelchair lift to the upper floor and a toilet. These specific features can help you decide whether to include Skarbnica in your plans if accessibility matters to your trip.

A Destination Nearby

East of Chłopy, an obelisk marking the 16th meridian stands on a forest path; the meridian runs along this path. The obelisk is next to a rest area on a tourist trail. It offers another landmark in the surrounding area, though it should not be confused with the local attractions.

Another way to include Chłopy in an exploration is to follow the quest “Szlakiem Mieleńskich Morsików”, which passes through the town. Alongside the beach and harbour, you can choose to explore the town’s history, Skarbnica’s activities or the quest through Chłopy. Deciding which of these interests you most can help you plan your stay and find suitable accommodation.
