Stegna and Sztutowo are the Vistula Spit's landward villages: low-key, family-run and fronted by some of the widest, emptiest sand on the coast. After autumn storms, locals still walk the tideline hunting amber — this shore has supplied it since the Neolithic.
The area also holds the region's most sobering site: the Stutthof memorial, the concentration camp museum at Sztutowo, which deserves an unhurried, respectful half day.
