Plaża Miejska Augustów, Municipal beach on Lake Necko in Augustów, Poland
Plaża Miejska Augustów is a sandy shore along Lake Necko with a wooden pier extending into the water and multiple designated swimming zones. The beach has facilities for changing clothes, equipment rentals, food services, and parking for visitors arriving by car.
The beach became a recreational area following the construction of the Augustów Canal in the early 1800s, which improved access to the lake. The infrastructure that followed transformed this section of Lake Necko into a popular destination for visitors.
The beach serves as a social hub where locals gather to swim, relax, and spend time together throughout the warm season.
Lifeguards monitor the swimming areas during summer months, and basic facilities like restrooms and changing spaces are available year-round. Arriving early or visiting on weekdays helps avoid crowds, especially during sunny weekends.
The wooden pier here ranks among Poland's longest and stretches far into the water, offering views from multiple platforms. The pier is illuminated at night, creating a different experience for evening visitors.
