Discover Kretowiny

When looking for a hotel in Kretowiny, it helps to first decide what you want to focus on during your trip: Is the main beach important, are you planning to take part in water sports, or are you interested in the landscape around nearby Lake Narie? In Kretowiny, you’ll find options for different interests, from the playground and volleyball court at the beach to water sports facilities on the peninsula. Consider which of these things you’d like to shape your days there.

Main beach: pier, playground and volleyball

Kretowiny’s main beach has a publicly accessible, supervised pier, a children’s playground and a beach volleyball court. These three facilities are located at the same beach but cater to different interests: The playground can be part of your daily plans when travelling with children, while the volleyball court offers a sporting activity. This makes it possible to consider the main beach as a specific place to visit for different activities without needing to plan for several locations.

The pier is publicly accessible and supervised; the presence of lifeguards may vary by season. If supervision is important to your plans, check the arrangements for your chosen period before visiting. The playground and beach volleyball court are also located at the main beach. You can therefore choose based on whether the pier, a visit with children or volleyball is your priority.

Water sports and sailing

There are water sports equipment rental facilities on the Kretowiny peninsula; they may operate seasonally. Check in advance which equipment is available during your chosen period. The Deskorelax windsurfing school is located at a holiday resort in Kretowiny. If you’d like to include Deskorelax in your plans, check current opening hours and booking conditions before making firm plans to visit the school. The rental facilities and the windsurfing school are two different options: one is about the equipment you want, while the other is about planning around windsurfing.

A sailing event is also associated with Kretowiny: the 30th edition of the Regaty o Błękitną Wstęgę Jeziora Narie was held here from 27 to 28 July 2024. The two-day event included the five classes T-1, T-2, T-3, OPEN and OTWARTOPOKŁADOWE. This date is a specific look back at the 2024 edition, not a date for a future year. If an event is important to your trip, check the dates for the relevant year.

Lake Narie and the surrounding area

Nearby Lake Narie lies within the Narieński Protected Landscape Area. It is a ribbon lake and just under 11 kilometres long. This makes the lake a different point of interest from the individual facilities at the main beach: here, the focus is on the lake’s landscape on a larger scale. Fishing is listed as a recreational activity at Lake Narie. If you’d like to fish, check the required permits and local rules in advance.

The Manhattan promenade, with numerous dining options, is also nearby. It provides another point of reference alongside the beach and the lake. When deciding what to look for, you can therefore consider whether you’re mainly interested in the facilities at the main beach, water sports, a place to eat or the landscape around Lake Narie. These are different aspects of a stay and can be factored into your search for a hotel in Kretowiny.

Planning your journey

There is a regional train stop in Żabi Róg, near the route to Kretowiny. If you’re considering regional trains for your trip, check the timetable for your travel day. This makes the stop a specific point of reference without making any claims about journey times or connections. Together with the facilities at the main beach, the water sports options and nearby Lake Narie, this provides a factual basis for considering Kretowiny as a destination for your trip.
