Trzęsacz
Half a day: see the Gothic church ruin on the cliff, walk the beach and leave. Not a base — sleep in Kamień Pomorski or Kołobrzeg.
Trzęsacz is a tiny Baltic resort known for one thing: the preserved presbytery wall of a 15th-century Gothic church that erosion has pushed to the cliff edge. The wide sandy beach is fine but similar to nearby Międzyzdroje or Kołobrzeg. Most travellers stop for 1–2 hours on the way between Kamień Pomorski and the coast.
