Lars and I started our visit to the Pomeranian coast in Miedzyzdroje, the most popular coastal town. We had actually underestimated how crowded this place was going to be. It took us more than 30 minutes to get rid of our car and afterwards we literally had to wade through a huge crowd of people in order to go to the beach. Miedzyzdroje is all about entertainment for young and old; think (beach) bars, restaurants, shops, tourist stalls and every kind of attraction imaginable. There is even a short Walk of Fame.
Another reason why people flock to Miedzyzdroje is its nearby nature park. But here we faced the same problem: lack of parking space. So we decided to go east, to the town of Kamien Pomorski. As soon as we arrived at the Rynek, we knew we had made the right decision.
Finally, some peace and quiet! Lars and I decided to do what the locals did: go for a stroll along the waterside…
Kamien Pomorski

… and have some fried fish and a cold beer:
The biggest and most beautiful landmark is the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, with its exquisite organ. We were very lucky, because when we arrived at the cathedral, an organ concert was about to start.
Afterwards, we went east to Mielno and Uniescie. According to our travel guide, these are 2 cozy coastal towns. Lars and I tend to disagree. Just watch the video:
Kolobzreg, on the other hand, was another delightful surprise. It is a health and seaside resort, with a very charming harbor and historic monuments.
