Kretowiny’s main beach offers several specific options for a stay by the water. There is a publicly accessible pier with supervision; supervision may vary seasonally. Check the current status before your visit. The main beach also has a children’s playground and a beach volleyball court. This makes it possible to accommodate different interests in your day’s plans: time at the pier, play or exercise on the court.

Beach, rentals and windsurfing

There are water sports equipment rental outlets on the Kretowiny peninsula; their opening may vary seasonally. The Deskorelax windsurfing school is located at a holiday resort in Kretowiny. This means there is both a general option for renting water sports equipment and a specific place dedicated to windsurfing. If you are still weighing up different water sports options, the rental outlets can serve as a guide; if you have windsurfing in mind, Deskorelax gives you a specific name to consider as you plan. If you are planning to visit the windsurfing school, check its current hours and visitor arrangements beforehand.

Nearby Lake Narie

Lake Narie, a ribbon lake just under 11 km long, is located near Kretowiny. It lies within the Narieński Protected Landscape Area. The lake’s length gives you an idea of its size when considering the surrounding area beyond the individual stretch of beach. Fishing is listed as a recreational activity at Lake Narie. If you would like to fish, check the local rules in advance and whether any permits are required.

Dining and sailing

A promenade called Manhattan, with numerous dining options, is located nearby. It offers a different focus from the facilities at the main beach: if you would also like to include dining in your plans, you can note Manhattan as a separate point of reference.
