Health benefits

Leba is a health resort. The sea, surrounding forests, lakes and dunes create specific microclimate with mild air. All the above combined together produce salt and iodine, which is perfect for those, suffering from asthma, throat and lung problems. So, if you are planning to come here outside of summer season or are one of the unfortunate ones and your holiday is spoilt because of rain, do not worry. Wrap up warm, take your waterproofs and go for a stroll along the beach. Breathe in deeply and feel the energising and healing qualities of the air.

The iodine in the air makes you also feel better and can uplift your mood instantly. Climatologists say that this special climate is even better and more beneficial for human body than the one in Canary Islands.

The best time to benefit from the special climate of Leba is Autumn and Spring, when the air is purest and the Sea produces the largest amount of iodine.

Leba-natural beauty

Leba is situated at the end of Leba River, between Lebsko Lake and Slovinski National Park-which is listed as National UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

People from all over the world come here to see great sand dunes. Their uniqueness lies in the fact that, as the wind blows it carries the sand and the dunes move slowly inland at a speed of 3-10 cm per year. Some dunes are as high as 30 meters above sea level.

The pine forests cover 80% of the whole Park and are inhabited by 257 species of birds. The most interesting are: erne, eagle, owl, crow and swan. Among mammals one has to point out: deer, elk, wild pig and hare.

One of the things the people of Leba are proud of are the white sand beaches. Last year they were voted the cleanest beaches on the Polish coast. They are also surrounded by dunes and pine forests and the sunsets and sunrises are the most spectacular in Europe.

The Baltic Sea provides all sort of sea food. Leba’s restaurants buy fish directly from the fishermen and you can be sure that the fish you are eating for dinner was caught the very same morning.

Leba-my town

Leba-a small town on the Polish coast, which has only 2000 people. It is situated 120 km from Gdansk, which is just 2 hourst drive.
Leba's beaches are one of the cleanest in Poland. Their white sands are almost blinding in the sunshine. The air is pure and smells with salt. What is the most interesting, it contains iodine, which can be very beneficial for those suffering from asthma or any other breathing problems. Climatologists say that the air here is purer and better for humans than the air in Canary Islands!
Leba is surrounded by pine forests. It is also 5 km from the Slovinski National Park and the great moving dunes, which lay between two lakes. The biggest dune is almost 30 meters high. Imagine the view you will get when you climb it! It is just breath-taking!!!

I am posting some pictures of the beach in Leba.

Starting!

Hello and welcome to my Blog!
My name is Joanna and I come from Poland and currently live in London.

Last week I attended a very interesting course on proof reading and editing texts, which is very useful for my boring job.
I had always been interested in English language. I had a chat with the trainer and he advised me to start writing and see if I enjoy that.
I must admit, the last time I wrote something else rather than business letter was in 1995. I stopped writing when I fell in love with my husband (probably I need to have my heart broken to be creative). I haven't written any fiction nor poem in English in my whole life! English is also my second language, so please forgive me, dear reader, for all the mistakes. I might get better with practice.

Anyway, I thought hard about what I could write about and I've decided I would write about my town-about something I know and love.
Here you will find everything you need to know about this beautiful town and what to do when you get there. I will also try to give you some interesting facts about culture and history.

I hope you will enjoy reading my blog.
