Every year more and more people discover the beauty and tranquility of Poland's beaches. Leba is certainly one of the most popular destinations and for good reason. The sand is soft and clean, the water is a bit warmer, and the town itself is exciting and full of hidden gems.
While you're in Leba there are a number of great places to stay, from top-notch guest houses, to a series of converted rail cars! Camping is also available for a great price, but watch out because you're often expected to provide your own toilet tissue! 
After finding a place to settle, take a stroll through the main town. There are a million small pizza places, but we suggest you pass them by in favor of the fish (or 'ryby') joints! If the service is ever slow, chances are your waiter is at the beach fishing for your dinner... it's that fresh!
No beach resort would be complete without the shady discos, tattoo parlors, and boardwalk games, so Leba has its fair share, but these cliches are mostly concentrated in the city centre and are easy to avoid. The beach immediately in front of Leba can also be a bit crowded and commercial, but again, the crowds are easily avoided. Walk one kilometre in either direction and you're practically alone!
Many people go to Leba to see the Polish Dunes at Slowinski National Park. Be aware that the park is actually a few kilometres outside Leba, but bike rentals or buses are on hand to make mince meat of the miles. However you get there, it is worth it 100 percent. The dunes are magnificent. Standing atop the mountains of sand, you can see the vast Baltic sea in one direction and a giant lake surrounded by forest in the other. Rarely can you say that you're standing in a place that exists nowhere else on earth.
Finally, Leba is an awesome place to watch the sunset over the ocean. If you've never seen this before, please treat yourself to this experience. Just walk about one or two kilometres west of Leba on the beach. You'll be almost completely alone for this spectacle, and after the sun sinks into the sea, you can just walk back along the beach and eventually come back into town. Simply incredible. | | | |
