General information:
Rewal is a seaside Baltic resort and fishing settlement situated in
the middle point of the western Polish coast, between Swinoujscie
and Kolobrzeg. There are cliffs on the shore, about 20 metres high,
fall steeply to the sea. There is no fishing pier. Fishing boats are
landed on the beach harbour between outer breakwaters. Permanent
population is about 600, but during summer season several thousand
of holiday-makers come here. Together with Pobierowo from the west
side and Pogorzelica from the east, Rewal forms the vacation centre
of Gryfickie Coast. A quiet, peaceful, and relaxing centre, beautiful
beach and camping area is available to guests.
The iodinerich air, seawater, wide beach and the fir and pine
forests provide a wonderful environment for summer break.
For a long time Rewal was only a fishing village. In 1838 baths were
established. Next, at the turn of the 19th century a resort was opened
with hot sea water baths.
