Kuźnica
Kuźnica sits at the narrowest point of the Hel Peninsula - under 200 m wide, with the railway just 28 m from the beach - giving quick access to both the flat Puck Bay lagoon and the open Baltic. Like neighbouring Chałupy it's a small, low-key holiday village that draws kiters to its shallow bay-side beach.
