The iconic, 35km long sandbar which is a highlight of the descent into Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport.
For the best lighting and photography, choose the left side on afternoon flights to avoid direct sun glare. The approach over the Hel Peninsula is highly dependent on wind direction, but usually occurs on the left when landing from the sea side. Watch for the distinct change in water color near the Vistula River mouth.
