Why is it worth going to the Baltic Sea in spring?

The sound of children shouting, windbreaks on the beach and the smell of waffles. This is what a summer visit to the Polish coast is often like. If you enjoy watching the choppy waves of the Baltic Sea and strolling along the sand, but crowds or noise bother you, why not visit in spring? It's the off-season, when many holidaymakers are only just starting to think about where to spend their upcoming break. So why is spring by the sea such a good idea?

Peace and quiet come first

From March to June, far fewer people come to the Polish coast than at the height of summer. The beaches are not overcrowded and there is much less litter. This means you can relax on long walks along the shore and admire the beautiful colour of the waves without having to worry about children running around, bits of plastic under your feet or loud music blaring from speakers.

Better access to local cuisine

In spring, many seaside restaurants are still closed. As a result, you may not find as many places to enjoy a good meal. However, there's no need to worry! The ones that have already opened are happy to welcome guests and serve them delicious dishes. During the off-season, it's much quicker to get a table at the bars that are regularly visited by long-term residents, giving you the chance to try high-quality fish prepared according to local recipes.

At this time of year, restaurants by the sea, just like the beaches, are not very busy, so you can enjoy your meal in peace.

A chance to save money

The owners of rooms and rental apartments know very well that demand for accommodation near the sea rises sharply in summer – and so do the prices! It's well worth visiting the coast in spring, as you'll easily find a room or apartment at a lower price than you'd pay in the summer months. This is simply down to the fact that far fewer people visit at this time of year – and as we all know, lower demand means lower costs.

Why is spring by the sea such a good idea?

Spring is the time when the air contains the highest concentration of iodine – something that is often recommended by doctors, particularly when it comes to a trip to the coast. After winter, the days can still be chilly, but when the sun shines through the window, you can warm up and enjoy a private session in the sauna or jacuzzi offered by Elegante. Take a long walk along the shore or along the coastal cliffs, and then relax in one of the cosy apartments with access to a private spa.

If you're looking for quiet beaches, delicious food and cheaper accommodation, consider visiting the coast during the off-season!
