Beach description
The beach in Jurata is located in the northern part. There it reaches almost 100 m wide. The beach and main roads are separated with artificially planted forest where some hotels and boarding houses are located. As for the sand, it is yellowy-white, and seems dirty gray from a height or from the side. However, the whole beach is cleaned regularly. Along the beach line, stylised like trees and bushes and therefore inconspicuous litter bins are installed.
A few hundred years ago, neighboring Hel was a cluster of islands. And over time, with currents, sand and separate stones began to settle in shallow water. As a result, a separate spit appeared. The sand has been never brought here outside. Therefore, exclusively Baltic ancient sands, that were here before, were preserved.
The northern beach of Jurata is equipped primarily for a simple beach vacation therefore it is in demand all year round. Strong winds are rare here, which allows to walk along the non-freezing sea all year round, even if without possibility of swimming. During the summer high season in July-August, in the southern part, there are a lot of water attractions: slides, jet skis, and pleasure tours. During the whole year, fishing can be offered to guests.
When is the best time to go?
The best time to come to the Baltic resorts in Poland is the hottest months of the summer, from July to August.

- the northern coast of the spit extends over the Baltic coast, that;s why the wave there is usually higher, in the southern part the sea is calmer and slightly smaller. The water there is warmer by a couple of degrees. However, the main infrastructure is located on the south coast, that;s why there are always more people there.
- There is an amusement park in the center of the city, and there is a water park not far from ferry and port. Near the water park there is an amazingly beautiful place - Mol Yastarnia. Perhaps visiting of this place will cause deja vu, as many tourists have photos of it, and its view is recognizable in various advertisements and booklets.
