Wicie: Beach, Cycling Route and Water Sports
Accommodation in Wicie
In Wicie, sea swimming and long beach walks go hand in hand with the international R-10 cycling route, which runs through the town. There’s another way to enjoy the water at nearby Lake Kopań, where frequent wind and waves create good conditions for windsurfing and sailing. These aren’t simply three versions of the same activity, but different holiday interests: time on the beach in Wicie, cycling along a route through the town, and water sports on the lake. If you’re looking for a holiday apartment, you can first decide which of these experiences you want to shape your stay.

Wicie Wschód Beach and Swimming Area
The beach in Wicie is ideal for swimming in the sea and taking long walks. Each offers a different way to spend time by the water: a day of swimming focuses on the sea, while a long walk is all about exploring the beach on foot. The Wicie Wschód swimming area is accessible from Plażowa Street.
For 2026, the Wicie Wschód swimming area was scheduled to have a buoy-marked section for supervised swimming and be monitored by three qualified lifeguards. If supervised swimming is important to your plans, please check the information applicable to your visit.
The R-10 Cycling Route Runs Through Wicie
The international R-10 cycling route runs through Wicie. This gives the town a clear connection to cycling as well as the beach. It’s a different consideration from access to the swimming area: if you plan to make a cycling route a regular part of your holiday, you can take this connection through the town into account, while swimming and walks make the beach a destination in its own right. This can help you decide what to prioritise: would you like to associate Wicie mainly with days at the beach, or should the cycling route also factor into your choice of location?
Windsurfing and Sailing on Lake Kopań
Nearby Lake Kopań offers a different focus for water sports: the lake has good conditions for windsurfing and sailing, with frequent wind and waves. The difference from the beach in Wicie is clear: the beach is all about sea swimming and long walks, while the lake is a destination for sailing and windsurfing. Although both involve water, they are different activities. So when planning your trip, it may be important to consider whether you’re mainly looking for time at the beach or specifically want to go sailing and windsurfing.
Find a Holiday Apartment to Match Your Plans
If swimming and beach walks are what matter most, Wicie itself is your point of reference; if cycling is important, consider the R-10 route through the town. If you’re interested in sailing or windsurfing, include nearby Lake Kopań in your plans. That way, you can focus your search on the activities that really matter to you, rather than simply looking for a holiday by the water. If you’re planning a family trip, you can discuss your interests together beforehand: which experiences do you want to shape your holiday, and which will be an added bonus? This gives you a practical basis for choosing a location without treating the beach, cycling route and lake as a single offering.
