The town boasts two beautiful beaches divided by the river Slupia. Being situated closer to the centre, the eastern beach enjoys far greater popularity among visitors than the western beach, which leads into the Navy Training Centre. Much more developed and surrounded by bars, restaurants, a concert hall, and the 19th century waterfront promenade, Ustka’s eastern beach has also been a cause of considerable expense for the town authorities as the beach is being gradually worn away by the sea.

Ustka takes pride in a long railway history, with the first passenger train to leave the town departing on 1st October 1878. The construction of the railway helped the town to start capitalising on tourism, and now since the collapse of the Ustka Shipyard the local authorities have been looking on tourism as the main source of income for the town.

Another thing to see is the unfinished pier, the construction of which was started by the Germans at the beginning of World War II, a fact which attracts legends and myths related to Nazi Germany. Worthy of a visit is the lighthouse from 1871, the Main Post Office from 1875, and a church from 1882, while an unmissable event is the International Contest of Fireworks organised annually in July.
