Niechorze is a holiday resort and sea bathing area with traditions dating back to the mid-nineteenth century. Apart from sandy beaches, there are numerous holiday attractions allowing for family relaxation.
Until the mid-nineteenth century, Niechorze was one of the many Baltic fishing villages. This changed when the fashion for trips to the sea began all over Europe, and the coastal climate was recognized as very beneficial for health. Many inhabitants of Berlin and other German cities were resting in Niechorze in the second half of the 19th century. Tourist traffic increased after the construction of the Gryficka Narrow-Gauge Railway in 1896, which transported vacationers to Niechorze and nearby Pogorzelica.
The town also welcomed tourists in the interwar period, and after the Second World War, many holiday resorts were established here. Today, the old buildings include a few fishing houses and a narrow-gauge railway station. Contemporary holiday centers and guesthouses dominate, and on the outskirts there are houses for rent.
The beach in Niechorze is the most important attraction of the town. This is where the vast majority of tourists spend their summer time. The beach is sandy, separated from the buildings by a pine grove and low dunes. There are recreational and swimming equipment rentals on and around the beach.
The most famous monument of Niechorze is the Lighthouse from the second half of the 19th century. From the observation deck on its top, there is a beautiful view of the surrounding area. You can see it, like other lighthouses on the Polish coast, also on a reduced scale in the nearby Lighthouse Miniature Park. On the other hand, those interested in fishing traditions can visit the Sea Fisheries Museum.
