Pionersky

Pionersky is a port city on the Baltic Sea in Kaliningrad Oblast, situated on the Sambian Peninsula between Zelenogradsk and Svetlogorsk. The settlement sits along the shoreline with direct access to Baltic waters.

The settlement was first documented in 1254 as part of territories controlled by the Teutonic Order. After the order's decline, the region came under Prussian control.

The town took its current name from a Soviet Young Pioneer children's health camp established after 1945. Various buildings and local infrastructure today reflect this period of social change.

Regular train and bus services connect Pionersky to Kaliningrad's main station for easy access. The beach is within walking distance and offers direct access to the water for swimming and walking.

The town's beach is known for washing up amber fragments after storms. Visitors can collect these natural treasures directly from the shore.
