The biggest building is a neo-Baroque church with a very interesting altar in the shape of a fishing boat. Old fishing houses are situated around the church. Some of them are turned into fishing museums (ulica Rynkowa 10 and ulica Mickiewicza 115).

Ksiedza Bernarda Sychty is the main street and has many cafes, bars and restaurants, and also many (touristy) shops and entertainment places for kids.

Do

A beautiful broad beach with white sandy dunes is north east of the center. A pine forest starts behind the dunes.

Eat

El Rino (ulica Stelmaszczyka 13a) with low prices Baltyk (ulica Polna 1) is considered to be one of the best fih´sh restaurants on the Hel peninsula.
