About Piaski Naturist Beach
Piaski is the last village on the Polish part of the Vistula Spit (Mierzeja Wiślana), about 11 km east of Krynica Morska and just short of the border with Russia's Kaliningrad region. Its beach is the most easterly on Poland's Baltic coast and lies within the Vistula Spit Landscape Park. The shore is open fine sand, backed by a dune and pine forest, with several access paths through the trees. The naturist section is centred on beach entrance no. 11 and stretches both west and east of it, away from the village's two lifeguarded bathing areas. Because Piaski is so remote, the beach is quiet even in July and August, windbreaks are rare and there is plenty of space; families with children use it as well as couples. Guides describe it as clean and calm in and out of season. Two seasonal beach bars sell drinks, ice cream and light meals near the main access, but nothing is available on the nude stretch itself.
Getting there
Drive the single road along the spit from Krynica Morska, about 11 km, to Piaski, the last village before the border. From the village, follow the paths through the pine forest to beach entrance no. 11 and walk west or east along the sand to find space. Parking is in the village and at forest car parks; one reviewer stayed several days in a campervan at a forest car park. Paths and beach are soft sand and unsuitable for wheelchairs.
What visitors say
Reviewers on Polish travel sites consistently praise Piaski's beach for silence and space, calling it wild, clean and picturesque, with forest close behind the sand. Families mention building sandcastles and spending whole days there. The drawbacks raised are thin facilities and limited water access on the beach, so visitors recommend bringing supplies. Guides note that the naturist area is easy to find from entrance 11 and is rarely crowded.

Legal context
The naturist stretch around entrance 11 is a tolerated informal area; no municipal designation by Krynica Morska was found in 2026. The beach lies in the Vistula Spit Landscape Park, where walking on the dunes is restricted, and the state border with Russia lies a short way east, so do not walk past the border markers.
Naturism at Piaski Naturist Beach sits under Poland's rules for traditional tolerance — custom more than statute.
