Where is a good place to take a child to the beach?

A winter trip with children is a chance to get close to nature. However, it’s worth choosing a destination that offers interesting attractions in case the weather doesn’t cooperate. Here are some cities that are perfect for a family getaway:


  • Kolobrzeg – relaxation at the spa
    This is one of the best-prepared cities for a winter getaway. The spa atmosphere, numerous walking trails, and a clean beach are major advantages. Children have access to swimming pools and playrooms, so there’s no chance of boredom. It’s the perfect place to combine activities with fresh air.

  • Gdynia – active and modern
    This city will appeal to families who enjoy modern spaces and learning through play. Children are sure to love the Gdynia Aquarium and the Experyment Science Center. Parents will appreciate walks along the boulevard and the modernist architecture. Gdynia has excellent public transportation, making it easy to explore the surrounding area.

  • Sopot – close to the beach and entertainment
    In winter, Sopot takes on a peaceful atmosphere. The empty pier and promenades invite you to take a stroll, and its proximity to Gdańsk and Gdynia makes it a great base for exploring. In the city, you’ll find child-friendly cafes, seasonal ice rinks, and cultural events organized throughout the year.

In each of these towns, Heyrent.com offers comfortable apartments in great locations—close to the beach and attractions.
