Coast
Rzucewo is a small Kashubian village on the Bay of Puck, between Reda and Puck. Its beaches are not wide, but rarely crowded: from the land side they are separated by the forest of the Coastal Landscape Park, and the bay's water is shallower and warmer than on the open sea.
The shallow shore suits families with children, and the steady winds over the bay draw windsurfers and kitesurfers. A secluded pier stands on the beach, seldom busy with tourists. A natural curiosity is the abundant moon jellies — jellyfish that do not sting and are harmless to people. The beach is reached from Nad Zatoką street and from the lime-tree avenue, which also leads out to the pier.
Rzucewo gave its name to the Neolithic Rzucewo culture (late third and early second millennium BC), known for amber working and hunting of marine mammals. The seal-hunters' settlement discovered in 1894 is one of the key archaeological sites of the southern Baltic, and in 2012–2013 a Cultural Park was opened here, with reconstructions of the settlement and an exhibition in the Kashubian Cottage.
From the fifteenth century the village belonged in turn to the Wejher, Sobieski and Przebendowski families; according to tradition the lime avenue towards Osłonino was planted by Jan III Sobieski, when his sister Katarzyna owned the estate. Beside the beach stands a neo-Gothic palace from 1840, today a hotel.
