Krynica Morska sits on the Vistula Spit — a pine-forested sandbar between the freshwater Vistula Lagoon and the open Baltic — and it is the east coast's quiet answer to the Hel peninsula: the same two-waters geography with half the crowds and prices from €38.
The Wielbłądzi Garb dune above town is the highest on the entire Baltic coast; climb it and you see sea on one side, lagoon on the other, and forest running to both horizons.
Between Gdańska street and the sea beach for the classic stay; lagoon-side pensions near the little port are calmer and catch the sunset over the water.
Lagoon port → up over Wielbłądzi Garb → descend to the sea beach → west along the sand → back over the spine by the lighthouse. Lagoon, summit, sea.
All 12 walks in Pomerania →Buses from Gdańsk (90 min) via the spit road, or — far better in summer — the passenger ferry across the lagoon from Frombork/Elbląg. No rail; a car helps off-season.
