The beach in the Polish health resort has expanded. The water from under the pier disappeared
Last weekend there was no shortage of attractions at the Polish seaside. Although it was in vain to look for the sun and the low temperatures made walking difficult, something unusual could be noticed.
Tourists in Kołobrzeg witnessed an unusual sight – the city is a health resort and one of the most popular resorts on the Baltic Sea. It attracts visitors not only in the high season, but also in autumn, especially spa guests who enjoy numerous treatments there. Some of them probably went for a weekend walk to the beach. There she could see the great tide.
Low tide on the Baltic Sea
You probably remember the large pier in Kołobrzeg. There is a fee during the season, it is 220 meters long and 9 meters wide and is considered the longest reinforced concrete structure of this type in Poland. Although usually almost all of it floats above the sea, this time tourists could only notice sand beneath it. The sea exposed the bottom as much as ever, which meant you could almost walk to the end of the structure and the local cafe on the beach.
Photos from the spa quickly began to spread on the Internet. The phenomenon was observed both live and online thanks to webcams. Tourists did not hide their surprise, but also delight. The beach became as huge as ever, the golden and wet sand encouraged walking, but also searching for treasures washed up on the shore.
This is an unusual phenomenon
What actually happened in Kołobrzeg? Representatives of the Facebook group “Lubuscy Łowcy Burz” explain that at the above-mentioned moment, a strong wind from the south was blowing over the Baltic Sea. It was through him that the masses of water were to be pushed northwards. “This is where the outflow comes from,” we read in an online post. It is known that the water level dropped by more than a meter at the seaside on Saturday. A similar phenomenon occurred in Międzyzdroje.
Internet users observing photos from the beach on the Internet did not spare comments. Some regretted that they were not there, others suggested that the low tide could be a sign of something disturbing. “It doesn’t bode well, it may come back with a vengeance.” However, what was most noticeable were words of admiration. “A paradise for metal diggers”, “Despite everything, it looks really fascinating”, “An amazing phenomenon” – we read.
