Ustka is a Baltic spa and fishing port west of Słupsk, with a lighthouse, a wide beach, and a harbour that still lands fish. The promenade and spa park come from its 19th-century resort years; summer fills the beach, off-season is quieter and windier.
It is less glossy than Sopot and more of a classic Polish seaside town. Walks go along the shore toward the dunes and, in season, out to the harbour mouth. From Gdańsk it is a western-coast transfer, longer than Hel but a different stretch of Baltic.
