Chłopy: Beach, fishing and village history
Accommodation in Chłopy
The beach and fishing shape the character of Chłopy, alongside traces of village life and things to discover. The village combines a clean beach with high dunes and a fishing harbour where individual fishermen fish in coastal waters using 12 boats. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Chłopy, you can first consider whether you would like to focus your stay mainly on the beach, local history or insights into fishing.
Beach, dunes and a maritime village character
The clean beach and high dunes give Chłopy a distinctive coastal character. Those interested in fishing will also find a fishing harbour in the village, with 12 fishing boats. The boats belong to individual fishermen who fish in coastal waters. Fresh and smoked fish are available to buy at the harbour. This makes the harbour a destination in its own right for anyone interested in local fishing or keen to experience fish as part of village life.
The pier is also part of the village landscape: since 2015, a 90-metre-long, two-storey pier has stood at 47 Kapitańska Street. For your holiday planning, Chłopy is therefore a destination whose distinct features are clear from its landmarks: the beach and dunes sit alongside the fishing harbour and village history.
Traces of village history
A historic trail runs along Kapitańska Street. Information boards display old photographs and a map of the settlement from 1930. The trail offers a glimpse of older views of Chłopy and of how the settlement was depicted at the time. The village also has several half-timbered buildings from the 19th century. Together with the photographs and map, they offer a way to explore the village’s history that differs from the experiences at the beach and harbour.
If you are interested in an active outing, the “Szlakiem Mieleńskich Morsików” quest takes you through Chłopy. The fishing harbour is also one of the attractions listed on the Velo-Baltica R10 route. These two activities offer different experiences: the quest takes you through the village, while the harbour is listed as an attraction along a cycling route.
Discoveries at the Skarbnica Wioski Rybackiej
At the Skarbnica Wioski Rybackiej, visitors can experience a multimedia simulation of a storm on a fishing boat and try on historical clothing. Younger visitors can put together puzzles, take a quiz and use a play area. The exhibition therefore offers several ways to engage: a dramatic experience centred on fishing, clothes to try on and playful activities.
The Skarbnica Wioski Rybackiej is fully equipped for visitors with disabilities. It is accessible and has wide passages between the exhibits, a wheelchair lift to the upper floor and a toilet. If these facilities matter to you when choosing an outing, you will find them at this visitor attraction in Chłopy.
