Beaches for finding amber?
I'm visiting Gdansk and was really hoping I'd be able to find some amber on a beach while I'm there. Not looking to harvest a massive quantity or anything, but I really enjoy collecting sea glass at home and this sounds like a cooler version of that. 😅 Where I live some…

What's the best place to stay at for 5 day vacation, Gdansk, Gdynia or Sopot?
Im going on a vacation with my gf for 5 days to (somewhere around)Gdansk. Someone recommended me that it would be better to stay in Gdynia or Sopot cause it's closer to the sea. Our main goal is to enjoy the sea, eat cheap sea food and ofc see Gdansk. What's the better place…

What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Stogi Beach offers a vast sandy coastline with some unique industrial views, making it a decent option for a day out. While some find the sea uninspiring and mention issues like mosquitoes or limited facilities, others appreciate the clean sand, accessibility via public transport, and the potential for wildlife sightings. The experience can vary greatly depending on which section of the beach you choose. +3
"I guess it’s all about perspective . There is no way on earth if you have been to Australia , New Zealand , the United States or other parts of Europe that do have 5 star beaches that you can give this one a 5 star. So it all depends on what you have experienced over your life.
It’s got a boring sea.
Huge cranes to your left and even mosquitoes on the beach and all over close to the forest.
I’d say it’s the best beach in this area and it has good transport and amenities close by and you can even Mevo ( electric bike ) there and back which is great. But don’t be fooled thinking you are going to some paradise beach. It’s a 2* at best. It does have nice sand so maybe a 2.5. Harsh but true ."

"Lovely place. Realy clean . Highly recommend to come early for a good spot. Came at 9.00 during week time, despite few people wasn't too busy at that time. Highly recommend watching the shipping containers. 🚢"

"Your experience will depend on which part of Stogi Beach you go to. If your preference is the middle part where most people go, you may be disappointed. But up the top end by Beach Entrance number 20 is lovely. The other end of the beach... well, if you like views of cranes to go with your beach time, then this is yours. It's actually very nice down there, but the cranes rather dominate your view. So choose carefully."
