Hel Essentials

Hel marks the symbolic beginning of Poland at the tip of a 35-kilometer peninsula where the Baltic Sea meets the Bay of Puck. This selection highlights the town's maritime and military heritage, including the 1942 brick lighthouse and the Museum of Coastal Defence. Visitors can explore the gray seal sanctuary managed by Gdansk University, the 15th-century Gothic church housing the Museum of Fishery, and the shifting sands of the headland beaches.
