The Hel Peninsula is a unique on a national scale
natural and landscape attraction and some call it
the longest pier in Europe. The width of the peninsula
varies from 100 metres in the most narrow part to
over 1 kilometer at the tip (town of Hel). Since the
peninsula was formed entirely of sand, it is frequently
turned into an island by winter storms. 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.
