Puck County

Puck County is an administrative district along the Baltic coast in Pomeranian Voivodeship, encompassing several harbor towns and coastal municipalities. The area features a shoreline shaped by bays, lakes, and peninsulas where fishing and tourism are central to local life.

The town of Puck emerged in the 7th century as a trading settlement on the sea and gained formal city status in 1348. This early development as a port shaped the region for centuries to follow.

The district preserves Pomeranian traditions through local festivals and maritime celebrations that connect people to their coastal heritage. Visitors can observe these customs woven into daily life across the fishing villages and small towns.

The area is accessible by an extensive network of roads and rail connections linking it to major Polish cities. The nearby urban centers provide additional transport options for reaching different parts of the district.

The district contains the Hel Peninsula, a narrow strip of land that separates a bay from the open sea. This geographical formation stands out as one of the region's most distinctive coastal features.
