Gdynia Orłowo Pier, Wooden pier in Orłowo, Gdynia, Poland.
The Gdynia Orłowo Pier extends 590 feet (180 meters) into the Baltic Sea and provides visitors with scenic views of the coastline and nearby rocky cliffs.
Construction of this wooden pier began during World War I between 1914 and 1918, and it was expanded to 430 meters by the late 1920s before storm damage in 1949 reduced it to its current length.
The pier serves as a popular gathering place for locals and hosts seasonal cultural events at the nearby Summer Stage of the Gdynia Theatre, along with wedding ceremonies and community celebrations throughout the year.
Visitors can access the pier year-round via well-maintained pathways from the Orłowo district, with parking facilities nearby and amenities including benches, viewpoints, and local cafes along the waterfront area.
The pier stands adjacent to the Orłowo Cliff, a distinctive rocky formation that creates a microclimate rich in local plant and animal species, attracting naturalists and photographers seeking coastal landscapes.
