Hel Live Cam

Hel is a small town located on the Hel Peninsula, which is a long, narrow strip of land separating the Baltic Sea from the Bay of Puck in northern Poland. The town of Hel is situated at the tip of the peninsula and is known for its beautiful beaches, maritime traditions, and nature reserves. It is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors for its natural beauty and historical significance.

During World War II, the Hel Peninsula was a strategic location, and the town of Hel itself played a role in the defense of Poland against the German invasion in 1939. The Polish military built fortifications and defensive positions in the area, but ultimately, the Germans managed to conquer Hel after heavy fighting.

Additionally, during the Cold War, the Hel Peninsula was a restricted area due to its strategic location near the border with the Soviet Union. It was used by the Polish Navy and the Soviet Navy for military purposes.
