Chałupy – Beach, Bay and Water Sports

• A seaside resort at the base of the Hel Peninsula, between the Baltic Sea and Puck Bay.
• A wide beach on the open sea; shallow, calm waters in Puck Bay.
• Windsurfing, other water sports and a cycling route across the peninsula.
• Rail connection; a festival featuring regattas takes place every year at the end of July.

The location between two bodies of water makes it easy to distinguish the different sides of the coast. On the open-sea side, Chałupy has a wide beach. Puck Bay, by contrast, is characterised by shallow, calm waters. These are different features to consider when planning your trip: if you are mainly looking for a wide beach, you can focus on the seaside; if you are interested in water sports, the conditions in the bay offer a specific point of reference.

The shallow, calm waters of Puck Bay in Chałupy offer ideal conditions for windsurfing. Chałupy can therefore be understood not only in terms of its beach, but also through the character of the bay.

Chałupy has schools and rental outlets for water sports equipment. At the Molo, FunSurf operates a school and rental service for windsurfing, kitesurfing, wingfoiling and surfing. The range includes several water sports, each with its own activity: windsurfing and kitesurfing, as well as wingfoiling and surfing.

If you are considering Chałupy for water sports, you can use its location on Puck Bay and the sports listed above as a guide to your interests. The resort combines these activities with a wide beach on the open sea.

Chałupy is one of the holiday resorts on the Hel Peninsula with a rail connection. The R10 route also runs through Chałupy along the peninsula between Władysławowo and Kuźnica. A cycling route across the Hel Peninsula also passes through the town. These details offer two different points of reference for getting there and travelling by bicycle, without implying any particular connection between the train and the route.

Near the fishing harbour, there is a square with bicycle racks, benches, a repair kit and an information board. It offers a view of the bay. Cyclists will find practical facilities here; the square combines places to park bicycles and repair equipment with a spot from which to look out over the bay.

The Church of St. Anne is designed so that its structure resembles a checz, a traditional fishing cottage. This architectural feature draws on a local building style and gives the church a distinctive design. It adds a cultural aspect to Chałupy’s coastal character, without reducing the town to just its beach and sports.

Every year at the end of July, Chałupy hosts the festival “Kaszëbszczie bôtë pod żôglame” (“Kashubian Boats Under Sail”). Visitors can watch regattas of old fishing boats, including Pomerankas as well as rowing, sailing and pole boats. The different types of boats give the festival a clear connection to fishing and sailing. If you would like to compare other destinations, you can also find Chłapowo and Ostrowo here.
