There is a nice bike path next to it, but unfortunately it is a place where many people drive very recklessly.

The Vistula Spit navigation canal is part of the waterway from the Bay of Gdańsk through the Vistula Lagoon and the Elbląg River to the port of Elbląg. The Przekop Spit canal is the most famous and spectacular section of this route, essential to ensuring Poland's sovereign access to the Vistula Lagoon from the sea. National Road 501 runs along the Spit, leading through Stegna and Sztutowo to Krynica Morska. To ensure continuous traffic on this road, two swing bridges were built, one of which is always open to road traffic. This is indicated by road signs with variable message. For cyclists, there are designated bike paths and a viewing point on the western side of the Przekop. It is possible to cycle to the end of the breakwaters, but not during storms. Despite the great attractiveness of this location, there are no dining options or shops. WW

The lighthouse was blown up in 1945 by retreating German troops. Reconstruction after the war A new facility was built and launched in 1951, according to designs from the Gdańsk University of Technology.
