A local tip for you

If you’re around in early June, spend an afternoon at Bulwar Nadmorski, near the marina, but skip the main promenade and head a bit east towards the breakwater. It’s quieter there, and you can watch small fishing boats come in while enjoying an ice cream from a local spot nearby. The sea breeze combined with that relaxed local crowd feels just right and shows you a side of Gdynia tourists often miss.
