I Love Łeba, and I'm not alone here.
Once you visit this charming town located on the Baltic Coast (North of Poland), you will fall in love and want to return. 
There are many reasons why I love this place. Here are a few: large and sandy beach, beautiful sunsets, tasty fried fish, lovely harbor, many, oh so many activities to do, and on top of that: my family lives there! 
Łeba is perfect for leisure and summer fun, but it's also great throughout the year and offers variety of activities for each season.
Here are only a few things to consider doing when visiting this picturesque town, besides swimming and sunbathing:
  1. Słowiński Park Narodowy (Słowiński National Park) - a huge attraction! This Park belongs to the UNESCO's World Biosphere Reserves. It is famous for shifting dunes, that are unique in a world scale. Impression that you get is like being in the middle of the desert :o) Słowiński National Park is also a home for different bird species (260 types of birds). Peat bogs, meadows, woods and four lakes: Łebsko,  Gardno, Dołgie Wielkie and Dołgie Małe create the perfect environment. A must-see!
  2. Windsurfing and kitesurfing. There is a school with professional instructors located near the Sarbsko Lake - 2 km outside of Łeba.
  3. Kayaking on the Sarbsko Lake.
  4. Horse riding. A stable is located in Nowęcin village, outside of Łeba. Horse riding on the beach and horse riding camps are available.
  5. Fishing!
  6. Lots of biking routes.
  7. Camping sides.
  8. Nordic walking (especially in spring and fall). Check out this Nordic Walking School with professional instructors located at Zdrowotel Łeba. (http://www.zdrowotel.pl)
I hope, that you are convinced to visit!
