Travelling to the seaside with your dog
The sea through the eyes of a dog - joy, space and freedom
There is nothing more beautiful for a dog than open space, the wind in its coat and the smell of salt water.
The coastal area has something about it that has a calming effect on both people and animals. The waves, the soft sand, the forests around Leba - it's the perfect place for hiking, activity and relaxation together.
In the low season, the Baltic Sea becomes quieter, calmer and the beaches almost empty. This is when dog walks take on a special charm.
Preparing for a trip - comfort and safety
Before you head to the seaside with your dog, it is worth planning your trip well.
Take care of a few essentials:
- health card and vaccinations - A current health book is essential,
- water supply and bowl - especially during long walks on the beach,
- towel and brush - sand likes to hide in the fur,
- leash and harness - Even if your pet is polite, safety first.
It's also a good idea to take along a favourite toy or blanket - a familiar smell helps your dog acclimatise more quickly to a new place.
Dog-friendly beaches near Leba
Łeba and its surroundings offer many quiet corners where you can walk with your dog without crowds and noise.
It is worth going to the less frequented sections of the beach - such as those behind the fishing port or towards Stilo.
There, nature is wild and space allows you to enjoy freedom.
A walk along the seafront in the morning or just before sunset is one of the most beautiful forms of relaxation - for both you and your pet.
Can a dog swim in the sea?
Yes - provided it is done in moderation and with reason.
Most dogs do well in the water, but the salt water of the Baltic requires caution.
Don't let your dog drink sea water, and always rinse the coat with clean water after bathing - salt can irritate the skin and paws.
If the water is calm and the temperature moderate, swimming can be great fun and a form of exercise.
In autumn and winter, it is better to limit bathing to a short splash at the shore - so that the dog does not get cold.
A walk in the woods and dunes - a dog's eldorado
There are many forest paths around Leba that are ideal for walking your dog.
The Slowinski National Park, although mostly protected, has several walking trails nearby that lead through fragrant pine forests, along lakes and dunes.
In autumn, it smells of mushrooms, needles and sea breeze - a real feast for the dog's nose.
A walk in the forest combined with a short stop at the beach is the perfect plan for the day.
Ensure you rest after your walk
After an active day at the beach, it is a good idea to take care of recovery - not only for yourself, but also for your pet.
The warmth of the interior, calm music and a soft blanket create an atmosphere that soothes after an eventful day.
It is a good idea to dry the coat, wash the paws and let the dog rest in peace - with a full belly and head in the lap of the carer.
At such moments, it is best to feel that the sea calms not only people but also their faithful companions.
The Baltic off-season - the perfect time to relax together
Autumn and winter are special seasons for coastal walks.
The lack of crowds means you can walk freely with your dog, exploring new paths and beaches.
The wind carries the scent of the sea, the waves are skimming and the sand is cooling your paws - a very different kind of holiday than in summer.
For many, it is then that the most beautiful memories are made - the quiet, everyday ones of walking along the seashore and the dog running ahead, leaving footprints on the wet sand.
Thoughtful travel - comfort for all
Travelling with a dog is not just about logistics, but also a way of having a shared experience.
A well-planned trip makes you both feel calm and relaxed.
You don't need great activities - a walk together at dawn, a bowl of water on your return and a few moments in silence is all you need to feel that this is true relaxation.
Maritime Melting Pot - close to nature, close to tranquillity
After a day at the beach, it is worth returning to a place where you can hear the sea and the air smells of pine forest.
Maritime Melting Pot is a hotel created for those seeking harmony with nature, tranquillity and the authentic atmosphere of coastal life.
Here, every morning begins with the sound of the waves and every evening ends in silence.
It is a space where one finds balance - both the human and his or her four-legged friend.
Seaside footprints - memories that remain
Walking on the beach, wet paws on the sand, the wind in your hair and the smell of salt in the air - these are images that stay in your memory for a long time.
A trip to the seaside with your dog is more than a trip. It's about shared time, trust, joy and peace of mind that can't be bought.
Because the most beautiful moments are those that happen slowly - to the rhythm of waves and footsteps on the beach.
