Ostrowo between the beach, nature and culture

Ostrowo combines a designated bathing area with paths through the Bielawa nature reserve and exhibitions about nature and history. In 2026, a 100-metre-long bathing area is located at beach entrance No. 35 in Ostrowo, on provincial road 215. If swimming is important to your holiday, this precise information gives you a practical reference point for planning. In addition, the nature trail, cycling routes and cultural themes offer other ways to spend your time in Ostrowo.

Landscape and nature around Ostrowo

Ostrowo lies beyond the Czarna Wda, on the rise known as “Kępa Ostrowska”. The river flows parallel to the sea coast. In the Ostrowo forest, at the level of the cemetery, there is a wooden observation tower. From there, the view takes in the Bielawskie Błota and the Puck Land. The landscape thus introduces you to a number of distinctive names and areas, which you can explore away from the beach.

A path leads from the centre of Ostrowo to the Bielawa nature reserve. A five-kilometre nature trail through the protected area also starts at the forest ranger’s lodge. The Bielawa nature trail area is especially good for observing numerous plant, bird and animal species from May to October. The area is considered a habitat for cranes and a popular spot for birdwatchers. During migration, flocks of cranes numbering up to several dozen birds stop there. Those interested in observing nature will find specific seasonal and landscape highlights here.

In the western part of Kępa Ostrowska, a natural spring rises beside the meadow path from Ostrowo to Karwia. It is another distinctive landscape feature in the area. When planning your holiday, nature-related activities like these, alongside the bathing area, may help you choose if you want to cater to different interests within your travel group.

Routes for different kinds of trips

The blue Nadmorski, or Rozewski, Trail is 28.1 kilometres long and runs through Krokowa, Ostrowo, Jastrzębia Góra, Rozewie and Władysławowo. The section between Ostrowo and Jastrzębia Góra follows the edge of the Czarna Wda valley. The distance and route details can help you find your way if you want to include this trail in your travel plans.

The municipal cycling network also extends for 30 kilometres and runs through seven localities, including Ostrowo. The cycling routes through Ostrowo are connecting sections of route R10 in the international EuroVelo 10/13 network. For cycling enthusiasts, both the municipal network and its connection to the international network are worth noting. A kayak route starts in Kłanino and ends in Ostrowo. It offers another perspective on your stay and is a distinct trip idea from the walking and cycling routes described above.

Exhibitions and historical insights

The Zagroda Kaszubska at 35 Zabytkowa Street is an outpost of the Muzeum Ziemi Puckiej im. Floriana Ceynowy. Its “Pszczelarstwo Pomorskie” exhibition presents the history of beekeeping and the work carried out in an apiary; beekeeping equipment is also on display. Another open-air exhibition, “Bielawa”, explores the formation and significance of the nature reserve. If you want to include regional exhibitions in your stay alongside nature and outdoor activities, the Zagroda Kaszubska offers two different subjects to explore.

Ostrowo is also home to a historic cottage dating from the 18th century. Along with the beekeeping exhibition and the exhibition about Bielawa, it offers further points of interest for a culture-focused visit. The subjects range from the history of a craft to the creation of a protected area and a historic building.
