location
The Polish Baltic Sea coast is located in the north-west of Poland and is over 500 km long. It is shaped by the Vistula glacial period through glaciers, rivers, wind and ocean currents. There are numerous shifting dunes , beach lakes , moraines , cliffs and river deltas . In contrast, there are no significant tides and therefore no Wadden Sea . In the hinterland there are glacial valleys and moraines. The highest elevation is the Góra Srebrna of the Wysoczyzna Elbląska (Elbinger Höhe) at 198.5 meters .
climate
On the Polish Baltic coast there is a transitional climate between maritime and continental climates . The amount of precipitation is lower and the temperature fluctuations higher (warmer summers, colder winters) than on comparable coasts in Western Europe. On the other hand, the temperatures are milder and the amounts of precipitation higher and than in continental Poland with the exception of the southern mountain ranges of the Sudetes and Carpathians , where the amounts of precipitation - especially amounts of snow - are higher and the temperatures are also lower in summer.
