Now when the summer is approaching, One of the best weekend breaks is going to the beach. There are many possibilities near Szczecin, but one of my favorites is Swinoujscie. Most of the city was destroyed by heavy bombing during the war but still you can find great Art Nouveau buildings restored, and many other brand new copying the same stile. The tourist part of the city is growing fast and every year the promenade is bigger and has more restaurants, shops, ice-cream shops, and cafes. But the best thing of Swinoujscie is the beach. A long, great and bright beach where you can go with friends or family and have a nice day. Even now, after the schengen agreement you can go walking to the German side of the beach. As I always say, I love to go for a walk, so this beach is for me like a paradise on earth. The only thing that I didn’t liked of Swinoujscie in the past was to drive from Szcsecin. There were many traffic jams, specially because you must cross the river channel using a ferry, and sometimes during the summer you must way an hour or more to get into it. But this year ther is a new service, the Wodolot Bosman Express. It is a fast boat in which you can go from Szczecin to Swinoujscie in just 75 minutes while you drink a Bosman beer or read a book or newspaper. The experience is rally nice, and comfortable. The boats leaves you at the docks, 10 minutes walking to the beach, but for lazy guys or people with small children there is a small tractor train available.  Also Szczecins Lake and Oder sightseeing definitely worth a trip on the Wodolot.
