We travel to Hel every year with my family. The beaches are clean, the sea fresh, beautiful area full of forrests, ideal also for bike rides. There is a brilliant (possibly educational) walk all around the beach, wheelchair and stroller friendly from which you can see both the sea, local flora, read about Hel and watch a sunsent on the bench. Plenty of fresh smoked fish, shrimp, also local resaraurants are great. Plenty of activities for children including exotic butterfly exposition, many museums and seal rescue.

Hel peninsula helps you slow down and relax. There is a lot to discover. The town of Hel with fishermen musem and fokarium. Military fortresses hidden in the forests with the both military and ethnographic exhibitions. Boat trips to Gdynia and Gdansk. It is better to use car as little as possible, there is only one road with quite a lot traffic. Foot, bicycle, train and ships are better options. Some travellers may find place too cold, but that is Baltic sea.
