More and more grandparents are choosing to spend their holidays with grandchildren by the sea. It’s not only a great way to support busy parents but also a chance to build a special relationship with the little ones.
There’s no need for long journeys – the Polish coast offers everything you need for a perfect holiday: iodine-rich air, sandy beaches, the sound of the sea and… children’s laughter. How to prepare for holidays with grandchildren by the sea? Where to go and what to keep in mind? We’ve got some tips for you.
Why take your grandchildren to the seaside?
The Baltic Sea has a unique charm – in every sense of the word. The seaside microclimate rich in iodine, the sea breeze and the scent of pine forests work like natural inhalation therapy. For children, it’s a chance to strengthen their immune system. For grandparents – a form of gentle regeneration. But the most precious part? Shared moments. Playing in the sand, walking along the shoreline, collecting seashells, and reading bedtime stories under a blanket – these are the memories grandchildren will carry with them for years.
Where to go on holiday with grandchildren by the sea?
Not every seaside town is suitable. It’s best to choose smaller, quieter places with family-friendly infrastructure. A great option is Dębki – a village with a wide beach, surrounded by forest, featuring gentle access to the sea and attractions even outside of the high season. Also check for playgrounds, walking paths, restaurants with kid-friendly menus and the option to rent bikes with child seats.
What to pack?
Travelling with grandchildren requires good preparation. Besides the basics like clothes, toiletries, a beach blanket and windbreak, it’s worth packing some books, board games, insect repellent, sunscreen and favorite snacks. Keep important phone numbers to hand – for a doctor, pharmacy or tourist information. ID wristbands with the caregiver’s phone number are increasingly popular in case a child gets lost.
Holidays without the rush – a rhythm that suits everyone
Grandparents rarely plan their day hour by hour. And that’s a good thing! Holidays with grandchildren should be slow-paced and pressure-free. Morning splashing in the pool, ice cream after lunch, an afternoon bike ride or sandcastle building – that’s plenty.
What if the weather isn’t great?
Holidays with grandchildren by the sea don’t have to depend on sunshine. At Fantazja Dębki, children won’t be bored even on rainy days. There’s a heated, covered pool perfect for morning swims or afternoon fun. There’s also a jacuzzi with hydromassage and a dry sauna – a guaranteed treat for grandparents. Cottages with a pool are the ideal alternative when the skies turn grey. And when the weather clears, you can head back to the beach, try the ropes course, walk along the Piaśnica River or just enjoy being together in a cosy seaside cottage.
Seaside cottages with a pool and attractions – stress-free holidays with kids
Holidays with children by the sea are not just about packing suitcases and mapping the route. It’s mostly about choosing the right place – one that meets the needs of the whole family. Seaside cottages with a pool and kid-friendly attractions, like those at Fantazja Dębki, combine comfort, safety and freedom with real relaxation. Spacious interiors, separate bedrooms, a kitchenette and a comfortable lounge are just the beginning.
There’s also a large playground with a sandbox, which parents can monitor from the cottage’s TV. Add a heated pool with fun accessories – goals, floats, inflatable toys – and you have the perfect combo. Thanks to these attractions, holidays with kids at Fantazja Dębki are enjoyable come rain or shine.

Rules worth setting beforehand
Travelling with grandchildren is not only about joy – it also comes with responsibility. Before the trip, it’s good to agree on some basics with the parents – how long the child can stay in the sun, what they can eat, whether they nap. These agreements make everyday decisions easier and prevent misunderstandings.
