A girls’ weekend in Łeba – an autumn trip to the seaside with friends

A trip away with friends doesn’t necessarily mean flying to a major European city or a weekend packed with activities from morning till night. Sometimes all you need to do is pack a few things, leave your daily responsibilities behind and head to the Baltic Sea. In autumn, Łeba offers exactly what you often need most – more peace and quiet, space, fresh air and time for conversations that you never seem to have enough time for in everyday life.

A girls’ weekend by the sea can be planned as an active break or treated as two or three days of complete relaxation. A stroll along the beach, group photos, coffee, bike rides or an evening spent without watching the clock – the plan can be very simple. Morski Tygiel could be the base for such an autumn getaway to Łeba.

Why is autumn the perfect time to go away together?

In summer, seaside resorts are in the thick of the holiday season. Autumn changes their character. It’s quieter, there’s more space on the beach, and the whole trip can be less dictated by the holiday crowds.

For a group of friends, this means the chance to really spend time together. Instead of queuing and rushing from one attraction to the next, you can start the day at a leisurely pace and decide on your plans over breakfast.

If the sun’s out, we head to the seaside. If the weather’s good for a bit of exercise, we go for a cycle or a long walk. And when we fancy a quieter day, we simply relax.

A long walk, during which we can finally have a chat

One of the greatest advantages of a group trip is having time to talk. In everyday life, meetings often last an hour or two; someone has to get back to their children, someone else has to get up early the next day, and the phone constantly reminds you of your other responsibilities.

On the beach, it’s a different story. You can walk for several kilometres along the Baltic coast and chat without glancing at your watch.

In autumn, you don’t even need to choose a specific destination for your walk. A warm jacket, comfortable shoes and a thermos flask are all you need to spend most of the day by the sea.

Active or relaxing? A bit of both is best

A girls’ weekend can look different for every group. Some people will want to relax, whilst others will want to make the most of the trip by getting active. You don’t have to choose just one option.

You could start the morning with a short workout or a walk. Then go for a bike ride, and spend the afternoon simply relaxing.

It is precisely this flexibility to change plans that is one of the greatest advantages of a short autumn break. There’s no need to prove to yourself that you’ve made the most of the weekend. If the highlight of the day turns out to be a two-hour chat over a cup of coffee, then that’s time well spent too.

An autumn beach, perfect for taking photos together

A trip with friends almost always involves taking photos. An autumn beach provides a completely different backdrop to a summer seaside.

There are no colourful windbreaks or crowds of tourists. In the background lie the sea, the dunes and a wide strip of sand. The autumn light is often softer, and as the day draws to a close, a spectacular sunset may appear.

There’s no need to organise a professional photo shoot. A photo taken together whilst out for a walk can make a much better keepsake than posed photos taken specifically for social media.

Leave a bit of room for spontaneity

The best plan for a girls’ weekend can be very simple: come to Łeba and have two days to yourselves.

The rest can be tailored to the weather and your mood. If it’s lovely in the morning, make the most of the day outdoors. If it’s raining, take it even easier. When the skies clear, head down to the Baltic Sea.

There’s no need to book every hour or draw up a schedule of activities. After a whole week of sticking to a timetable, having no plan at all can be the greatest luxury.

A girls’ weekend at Morski Tygiel

Morski Tygiel could be the perfect spot for an autumn getaway with your friends, whether you’re planning an active weekend or simply want to relax.

Łeba in the off-season offers the chance to slow down. There’s the sea, a wide beach, coastal nature and plenty of space to spend time together.

You don’t have to wait for summer or organise a week’s holiday. Sometimes two or three days are enough to come home feeling re-energised and with another story to share the next time you meet.
