General information:
Jastarnia is a fishing harbour and one of the most popular seaside
resorts. The population is about 4,000. The port fishing harbour is
placed on the Hel Peninsula from Puck Bay side. Jastarnia is an old
Kasubian village first mentioned in a document dated 1378. The wooden
church was founded in 1750. This time village had 91 fishermen's
cottages with 485 inhabitants.
Jastarnia has been rebuilt and extended between World Wars I and II by
the Republic of Poland. The fishing harbour was built between 1926
and 1928. By that time it was a port for fishing, sailing and tourism.
The harbour was modernised in 1966. There is a signed and dredged water
line (with depth of 4.5 and 5.0m), leading to the harbour. A special
dredging equipment base, for nourishment of the outer side of Hel
Peninsula, is located in the harbour. This is the first Polish harbour
managed by local authorities. There is a lighthouse built in 1950.
Jastarnia obtained town status as recent as 1973.
There are several protected fish spawning areas, in Bay of Puck, on
the western side of the bay. Fishing is prohibited from mid April to
mid July annually.
The only beach fishing harbour is situated from the side open to the
Baltic Sea. There is beach slip way and simple fishing facilities. The
beach harbour is connected by road with the town.
The bulk of the fish landed goes to the various merchants in the port,
who either sell the fish to retailers, or process the fish on the spot. |
