Welcome to Łeba!

The village is surrounded by water on three sides. From the north it is washed by the Baltic Sea, on the western side lies Łebsko Lake, and on the eastern side - Serbsko Lake. In the immediate vicinity of the resort, there is the Słowiński National Park , recognized by UNESCO as a world biosphere reserve. In recent years, the region has been attracting growing interest from foreign tourists. Foreigners from Germany or France visit it more and more often, there are also more and more people who, instead of spending their holidays in France   or even in the Czech Republic, they prefer to come to a campsite by the Baltic Sea . The fact that Łeba and its surroundings are appreciated by its western neighbors should come as no surprise. Wild nature, mild climate, well-organized tourist infrastructure and a number of attractions for every age group - we have something to tempt.

Steven Spielberg fans should visit the Łeba Park Dinosaur Park , one of the largest facilities of this type in Poland. On the other hand, history and military enthusiasts will probably visit the bunker-museum Rocket Launcher , the remnants of a secret German testing ground where rockets were tested during World War II. Łeba is also a great place for water sports enthusiasts, from fishing to fun on a scooter or motorboat. Not only professionals will find an option for themselves - local instructors will introduce those willing to the world of fishing at sea and teach the basics of sailing on a board or a sailboat. Łebsko Lake is perfect for learning, because its depth does not exceed one meter. There are specially prepared excursion routes around the lake, thanks to which you can explore the area on your own.

Dunes

A walk through the Polish Sahara

During your stay in this part of the Pomeranian Voivodeship, it is worth getting to know the greatest attraction of the Słowiński National Park - the moving dunes . They are a slow phenomenon. but still progressing. At a rate of 1.2-1.6 m per year, thousands of tons of sand move east and south-east. The whole process has its beginning in the sea, where the waves wash the grains onto the shore, and then the sun and wind complete the work - the dried and blown sand creates dunes. The largest of them, Dune Łącka, rises to a height of almost 42 meters. The phenomenon of wandering dunes is unique not only in Poland, but also throughout Europe, hence sometimes this area is referred to as the Polish Sahara . Due to the uniqueness of the area and the need to protect it , the Strict Spit Protection Area was created there. A 5-kilometer trail among the dunes was also created, which does not affect the process of their mixing, and at the same time allows you to admire the teamwork of the sea, sun and wind.

InterCamp84

Camping by the Polish seaside

People looking for accommodation in close proximity to the center of the village will like the family camping InterCamp'84 . It is located 500 meters west of the heart of Łeba, and on its area (almost 4 ha) guests will find places for tents and stands for vehicles. Many of the plots are wooded, thanks to which they provide shade and coolness to vacationers in the summer.
