1. Stilo Lighthouse

Reviewed By Tony J - Newport, United Kingdom
On the coast between Kopalino and Łeba. You can get there by bike from Kopalino. If you drive it costs 10 zł (in 2015) to park in a field, then it is a nice roughly 1 km walk through the forest to the lighthouse itself, beyond which it is another kilometre or so to the sea itself. Before the woods there are some cafés/restaurants and couple of little shops.
There is a little café tent at the lighthouse and free chemical toilets (though without toilet paper or soap when we were there). It cost 20 zł for two adults and two children to go up the lighthouse in 2015; from the top there are nice views all around. On a windy day at ground level it is very windy at the top of the lighthouse.
Inside there are displays on the history of Lighthouses, Baltic wrecks and other Polish Lighthouses, though all of it in Polish. When we visited (July 2015) two floors of the lighthouse held an art exhibition by (I imagine) a local artist.

We went out to the Wieża Widokowa, or "Viewing Tower", and found it to be located in a small theme park called "Kaszubskie Oko". Theme park is a lot of words for something consisting of a few dinosaur statues and a giant chess board plus a third rate coffee shop (water with coffee taste, yuk). Everything centers around the viewing tower. The construction is quite interesting, made up of concrete and twisting steel cables. There's a lift if you don't want to climb a gazillion steps. The view is quite good, but not spectacular. Did spend some nice quality time with my son playing chess on the giant board next to the coffee house. It was refreshing, certainly.

Niewielki skansen położony w miejscowości na brzegu jez. Żarnowieckiego. Miejscowość Nadole posiada ciekawą historię. Jako jedyna w XX leciu międzywojennym należała do Polski po tej stronie jeziora ale nie można było do niej dojechać drogą bez przekraczania granicy... Skansen niewielki ale pięknie utrzymany i urządzony. Widać, że tworzą to ludzie znający się na rzeczy. Mnóstwo sprzętów z przełomu XiX i XX wieku, fajnie pokazane, zadbane. Obsługa miła i kompetentna. Cena nieduża. Dla chętnych gratis do wypożyczenia audioprzewodnik. Polecam każdemu wizytę na 1 godzinkę albo ile kto chce...

The beach in Debki is divided into two parts by the river Piasnica. East of the river in the direct neighbourhood of the village there is a beach oriented to families. It is in a convenient distance from the village separated only by sand dunes and a small pine forrest from the main walking prom with shops and cafees.
West of the river (approx 200 m, the river may be crossed using a small wooden bridge) there is a nude beach.
The sand is very clean and water clear. The beach is wide, The bathing season usually starts in the beginning of June and lasts untill the end of September.
The entry is free of charge. The beach is not guarded.
5. Dwor Bychowo

Reviewed By Burek_Polny - Poland
This is an old country manor converted into a small hotel, located besides a forest and well off the popular routes. The facility offers about a dozen comfortable rooms, but don't expect luxury. A restaurant is also run on the site, with horse stables and a small animal farm nearby. No swimming pool, but one will find a pool table in the basement.
PROS: fantastic for families with youngsters, with lot of tame animals (goats, rabbits, goose) around to take care of. If You are into horse riding, this also is definitely the place for You. Conveniently located stables with 4 horses and vast fields and forest surrounding this place guarantee gallopading adrenaline rush! And only 15 min driving distance from the beach and sea.
CONS: the catering could definitely use major improvement, but with a fabulous alternative in the Kaszubski Mlyn restaurant in Wierzchucino just 5 min driving distance away, one can easily get along.
Recommended especially during the winter and summer seasons, but could turn out to be claustrophobic during rainy days.
6. Park Dinozaurow

Reviewed By Tony J - Newport, United Kingdom
A huge site, fabulous for children (and adults!) very clean and well-kept, with long walks through marshland (on board-walks) and woods along which are life-size models of all kinds of dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures with descriptions in Polish and (mostly) English, as well as a (rather random) Wild West area where you can pan for gold (costs), get your face painted (free), shoot (costs) and buy souvenirs. There is also a mini zoo and big play park at the end; this has loads of climbing equipment and slides, bouncy castle slides, and tables for the adults to sit at with table service of drinks and snacks. It's really well done and well looked after.
There are restaurants and shops; the restaurant halfway round is decent and serves food such as pierogi, chips, drinks, beer etc. At this café they also have a stage with kids entertainment (in Polish only) starting every couple of hours.
You can hire a pedalo boat to paddle about the watery bits of the park; it's very flat water with life jackets if you want them.

I have not been to Gdansk/Gdynia but if I compare with other seaparks (Wladyslawowo, Hel) this one is the best. Large Aquariums with live seals and sea lions, some other Exhibitions, very large area to walk and plenty of attractions for kids.
