Świnoujście, situated on the island of Usedom at the northwestern tip of Poland bordering Germany, boasts the widest sandy beach in Poland—stretching up to 200 meters wide. Overlooked by the iconic Stawa Młyny, a historic windmill-shaped navigation beacon perched on the harbor breakwater, it offers a spacious Baltic kitesurfing playground.

The widest beach in Poland

The sheer width of the beach provides boundless room for laying out lines, self-launching, and landing with complete safety. The sand is exceptionally fine and white, and the seabed slopes out very gently into the sea, providing standing depth up to 50 meters out.

Wind exposure and wave formation

Positioned in the Pomeranian Bay (Zatoka Pomorska), Świnoujście captures weather systems from the Northwest, North, and Northeast. These winds blow cleanly across the open Baltic, generating rolling swell and fun wave kickers over outer sandbanks that are ideal for twin-tip boosters.

Cross-border cycling and spas

Świnoujście is directly linked to the German imperial seaside resorts of Ahlbeck, Heringsdorf, and Bansin via a continuous 12-kilometer beachfront promenade and bicycle path. The town offers world-class spa facilities, affordable seaside dining, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
