As soon as it gets hot in Łódź, the ponds and lakes in and around the city burst to life not only with wildlife, but with locals aiming to chill out on some sand. You wouldn't think it, but the city has some top class public beaches, right within city limits. That's also the cool thing about the city, you will find some great public beaches to chill out in if the tourist crowds get a bit too much to handle, all with various attractions for kids and adults, from play areas, water bike and canoe hire!
