Very nice camping site close to the beach. The reception is at the building close to the sea, while the pitches lies at a secured area some meters before. Clean toilets and nice pitches in trees.

Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Gruta. First mentioned in a document from 1282. During the Swedish wars it was significantly damaged, renovated in 1670. The tower also comes from this period. Gothic church, oriented, built of brick in the Wendish arrangement on a stone foundation, single-nave. In the presbytery there is a cross-ribbed vault, in the nave an apparent cradle. The church's equipment is late Baroque from the first quarter of the 18th century. Of particular note is the figure of the Virgin Mary Enthroned with Child from the mid-13th century (late Romanesque). The history of the church is associated with a legend concerning the origin of the name of the town of Gruta. According to accounts, it was supposed to have been built on the site of a cave in which a pagan temple was located. In the 16th century, as a result of damage to the church, an entrance to it was supposed to appear, which was covered up. https://gruta.pl/kosciol-w-grucie/
