Jurata

This little village on the shore of the Baltic Sea has long been regarded as Poland’s most fashionable seaside resort, frequented by the artistic elite and even by the Polish president in his time off from running the country. Several five-star hotels are available along the two wide sandy beaches (there is a beach on either side of the Hel Peninsula). The village also offers plenty of boutiques and tourist shops, as well as stylish cafés and bars.

o Juratě

Jurata is often named, and quite justifiably, the Pearl of the Polish seaside. Though dominated by lavish hotels and deluxe cottages, it is still possible to find some two or three-star hotels in the village. It is here that the President of Poland maintains his summer residence, and many celebrity actors and politicians are seen in Jurata on a regular basis as well.

Expansive beaches - one on the open sea side, the other on Puck Bay - are appealing to families with small children. In summer, when people flock to the resort, Jurata gets crowded and a little bit loud, but nonetheless has a bustling charm all of its own. As the resort is small you can fully explore it fully by strolling or cycling around. The surrounding pine forests give Jurata a specific character and are good for walking in fresh air. For romantic couples, there is nothing better than ending the day with a moonlit walk on the pier. There are also clubs and restaurants inviting you to spend an enjoyable evening there.

There is indeed no other resort like Jurata on the whole Polish coast, but if you want to experience something different while here then you can use the train connection to the Tricity – Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot.

ZEMĚPIS

Jurata is located in northern Poland (the Pomeranian Voivodship), about 90 km from Gdansk, 10 km from Hel and 3 km from Jastarnia. It is small, with only 550 inhabitants or so.

The village has a unique geographical location as it lies at the narrowest point of the Hel Peninsula – the distance between the beaches on either side of the peninsular is only several hundred meters. The Hel Peninsula is a sandbar some 35 km in length and covered with pine forests and dunes. Some 5 km north of Jurata is the highest sand dune of the peninsula, at 23 m tall. The highest dune near Jurata rises some 15 m above the beach.

The legend about the naming of the village says that once upon a time there was a magnificent palace on the bottom of the Baltic, where dwelt Jurata, the beautiful Queen of those waters. A fair ruler, she was devoted to the good of her subjects. When she was served flounders, her favourite food, she would order the fishermen to throw half of them back into the sea. Perhaps this is the reason why flounders are so oddly shaped.
