Rewa – surely one of the best seaside resorts in Poland.
Admittedly, I haven’t been to that many coastal destinations in Poland (yet).
However, sometimes you just know when you’ve discovered an incomparable gem.
Where is Rewa?
The village of Rewa lies only 31km north of Gdańsk. It’s located right between Gdynia and the seaside town of Puck.
Arriving into Rewa by car
Head into Rewa on the main street (Morska) by car, continue east along the seafront. You should spot several signs advertising parking on some of the side streets for as low as 10 zl a day.
My wife and I have been to Rewa several times. On each occasion, we parked just off Słoneczna Street close to the intersection with Żeglarska Street. There’s a football field which seems to be used as a car park during the summer months. From this location, it’s only a two-minute walk to the beach, although Cypel Rewski (the thin sandy tip stretching out into sea) is rather a ten-minute stroll away.
For quicker access to Cypel Rewski, there are car parks further along Morska Street, and just off Rybacka Street.
What makes Rewa one of the best seaside resorts in Poland?
Here are three reasons why I believe Rewa is one of the best seaside resorts in Poland:
1. Clean and reasonably warm water
On the west side of the sandy tip, the water is exceptionally clean and transparent.
The air temperature was 26c. I don’t know what the sea temperature was but the water was refreshingly cool to swim.
2. The sandy tip (Cypel Rewski)
The progressively narrowing sandy tip (Cypel Rewski) is a sight to behold.
Far away from the madding crowd, it’s a cracking place to lay down your towel and sunbathe or take a dip.
We walked up to the tip for a mini photo session.
Pure paradise.
3. Rewa is not overly commercial and in your face
Rewa doesn’t seem to be full of rip-off merchants.
We didn’t eat out anywhere, but the prices I saw on menu boards outside several restaurants seemed to be very reasonable.
Moreover, Morska Street is very pleasant to stroll down. There aren’t too many of those ghostly souvenir stores selling tacky plastic mementos.
