– bathing area, promenade, playground
Where can you truly feel the holiday atmosphere of Giżycko? Of course by the Niegocin Lake, more precisely – at the City Beach and the famous Giżycko Pier! It is the heart of the city's summer life, a place for meetings, relaxation, and admiring the beauty of Masurian landscapes. Located right near the center and the modern Ekomarina, it is a must-visit spot during your stay in Poland's sailing capital.
Pier – a walk with an unforgettable view
The Giżycko pier, proudly jutting into the waters of Niegocin Lake, is much more than just a jetty. It is a popular walking promenade, full of life especially on warm days. From here, you can enjoy picturesque views of:
- The vast surface of Niegocin Lake, the second largest in Masuria.
- The bustling Ekomarina with hundreds of rocking yachts.
- The city panorama with characteristic landmarks like the Water Tower.
- Spectacular sunsets over the lake – a perfect backdrop for romantic moments!
A walk on the pier is an excellent way to catch your breath, take beautiful photos, and feel the true atmosphere of Masuria.
City Beach – sun, sand, and swimming
Right next to the pier stretches the sandy City Beach, a favorite summer spot for locals and tourists alike. On sunny days it attracts lovers of sunbathing, sandcastle building, and of course – refreshing baths in Niegocin Lake. Important for safety:
- During the summer season, the beach operates as a guarded bathing area.
- MOPR lifeguards supervise the safety of swimmers.
This makes the Giżycko beach a friendly and safe place, especially for families with children.
The perfect place for families (and not only!)
The beach and pier complex is designed with everyone in mind. Families with children will appreciate the safe bathing area, sand for playing, and often a nearby playground. Couples will find an ideal spot for a romantic sunset walk. Anyone looking for a moment of relaxation by the water will feel right at home here.
Infrastructure and amenities
Around the beach and pier seasonal infrastructure usually develops – you can buy ice cream, waffles, drinks, or quick snacks here. Nearby there are also numerous cafes and restaurants, as well as toilets and sometimes changing rooms.
Location and accessibility
A great asset of the City Beach and Pier is their location in the very heart of Giżycko, on the shore of Niegocin Lake. You can easily reach them on foot from the city center (and from Hotel Wodnik it’s just a short, pleasant walk).
Why is it worth it?
Because it is the quintessence of summer leisure in Giżycko! The combination of sunbathing and safe swimming with a pleasant walk along the pier and admiring beautiful views makes it a versatile place that everyone will like. You can't be in Giżycko and not visit the City Beach and the Pier!
