Orłowo Pier stretches 180 metres into the Bay of Gdańsk from one of the most distinctive parts of Gdynia’s coastline. From the wooden walkway you can look towards the sea, the beach and Orłowo Cliff, while just a few steps away the district still retains its fishing character, with boats pulled up onto the sand.
Today’s pier is much shorter than its pre-war predecessor. Historical materials published by the city state that in 1934 the Orłowo pier was around 420 metres long. The present structure underwent a major renovation in 2007: the entire pier structure was rebuilt, wooden piles were reinforced with steel rings, and the decking, kerbs and railings were replaced. The work took 10 months.
The best way to visit is to combine the pier with a walk along the beach beneath Orłowo Cliff, but avoid approaching the cliff face during landslides, strong winds or after heavy rain. The pier itself only requires a leisurely short walk, while the beach, cliff and surrounding Orłowo district deserve more time. Late afternoon usually offers the most attractive light for photographs as the sun drops behind the urban skyline of the Tricity.
