Where to stand
Use a marked path through the dunes onto the beach and walk a few hundred metres from the entrance, away from the street lights. Lay a mat on dry sand and look up. Over the sea you see the sky down to the horizon, so you also catch long meteors skimming low.
Horizon
Open sea to the north, forest behind you; the whole sky is visible over the beach
Sky darkness (Bortle scale): 4
Rules
The dunes protect the coast from erosion, so only use the marked crossings and do not settle on the dunes. During the August Perseids the beach can be busy, so do not shine your torch in other people’s eyes.
About the spot
Dębki is a forest village by the sea, about 15 km west of Jastrzębia Góra. Buildings are sparse, and beyond the beach there is only open sea. Outside the summer season and away from the resorts, the sky here is darker than in most seaside towns.
