Kołobrzeg Pier, Pier extending into the Baltic Sea in Kołobrzeg, Poland.
This reinforced concrete structure extends approximately 720 feet into the Baltic Sea and features a two-level pavilion situated about 15 feet above sea level, offering expansive views of the coastline and surrounding waters.
The original wooden pier was constructed in 1881 and included a jetty for sailing vessels, but it was destroyed during World War II and replaced by the current concrete structure, which opened on June 19, 1971.
The pier serves as a central gathering place for residents and visitors in this resort town, hosting community events and maritime activities that celebrate the city's longstanding connection to the Baltic Sea and spa tourism traditions.
The pier is open to the public year-round and features seating areas, lighting for nighttime visits, a café, and a small jetty that accommodates sightseeing boats and sailboats for coastal excursions.
Kołobrzeg Pier is the longest concrete pier of its kind in Poland, and plans are underway to extend it by an additional 850 feet, which would connect it to other parts of the town via a water tram service.
