Półwysep Helski

Jastarnia

The 34 km long and, at some points, less than 200 m wide, was formed by centuries of sand deposition by the sea. The Hel Peninsula is a unique on a national scale natural and landscape attraction and some call it the longest pier in Europe. Sea currents carrying sand washed away from the seabed formed the Hel Peninsula. First, in the place of today's peninsula a lagoon appeared, which gradually emerged from various parts of the sea in the form of an island chain. Clean beaches and unique local climate with healing properties resulting from large amounts of iodine in the air only add to the attractiveness and beauty of the peninsula. In 1987, because of its unique properties, the whole of the Hel Peninsula was incorporated into the Seaside Landscape Park (Nadmorski Park Krajobrazowy).
