Gąski is a small summer resort located on the western coast of the Baltic Sea, 10 km from Mielno, 20 km from Koszalin and 25 km from Kołobrzeg. Gąski is first of all peaceful, calm, there are no crowds and it offers beautiful, wide beaches. This makes it an ideal place of rest for families with children.

Lighthouse

Attractions in Gąski

One of the most important attractions of Gąski is the lighthouse with a height of over 51.2 m, which is the second highest in Poland. It was built in 1878 and is listed in the register of monuments. The lighthouse in Gąski is open to visitors. From the top there is a picturesque view of the Baltic Sea, from where you can see Sarbinowo, Chłopy, Mielno and Unieście.

The lighthouse is located in the western part of Gąski near the Kolorowe Domki (Colourful Cottages) (approx. 300m). At the base of the tower there is a lighthouse keeper’s house and stalls with food and souvenirs.
