Mrzezyno between beach, harbor, and history

Mrzezyno is a seaside resort at the mouth of the Rega River. Wide sandy beaches, a harbor, and maritime memorials give the town a variety of facets. When looking for a hotel on the Baltic Sea, these features can help you match the character of the destination to your travel interests.

Beach and protected coastal landscape

The beaches are wide and characterized by fine sand. Offshore sandbars create safe bathing areas that are not very deep. Windsurfing and kitesurfing are among the water sports available at the beaches. The coastal landscape also includes dunes and pine forests; these landscape features are part of the Natura 2000-protected Trzebiatów-Kołobrzeg coastal strip. Windsurfing and kitesurfing add a water sports dimension to the beach, while the dunes and pine forests define the natural landscape.

Harbor and routes along the coast

The harbor is used by sea-going yachts and fishing boats. Excursion boats can dock there; fishing trips for cod are offered from Mrzezyno on excursion boats. If a fishing trip is important to your plans, check the current schedule in advance. Coastal cycle paths connect Mrzezyno with neighboring towns. This offers a different travel experience from a stay at the harbor: the opportunity to reach other places along the coast. For a specific cycling trip, it is advisable to check current route conditions.

Architectural history and maritime remembrance

The Church of St. Peter and Paul was built between 1900 and 1912. The presbytery features glass mosaics by Prof. Henryk Burzec. The stained-glass windows depicting “sea flowers” were made by Maria Powalisz-Bardońska from Poznań. The church thus brings together two forms of glass art: mosaics in the presbytery and windows with sea-flower motifs.

The “Wedding to the Sea” monument commemorates the first postwar Polish ceremony of the same name, held in Mrzezyno on March 17, 1945. The Trzebiatów municipality holds annual commemorations at the monument, including a historical reenactment; dates and programs may vary.

Another maritime monument bears the Polish name “Tym, którzy nie powrócili z morza” (“To Those Who Did Not Return from the Sea”). Beside the main monument are smaller blocks bearing the numbers of fishing boats and the names of fishermen who lost their lives at sea while working. One monument thus commemorates a specific postwar ceremony, while the other focuses on individual fishermen and boats.

Chata Rybaka and fish cuisine

Chata Rybaka is one of the oldest surviving buildings in the town. It was probably built toward the end of the 18th century and remodeled in the 1920s. The restored building houses a restaurant serving local specialties; be sure to check current opening hours. Chata Rybaka thus connects architectural history with a specific culinary experience.

Local fish cuisine also shapes Mrzezyno: smokehouses and fish fry shops serve freshly prepared fish dishes. At the landing stage, flounder and turbot are offered for sale directly from fishing boats. Individual vendors and availability may vary.
