The boulevard is named after Feliks Nowowiejski, a prominent Polish composer who famously wrote the anthem for the City of Gdynia.
It marks the transition between the urbanized harbor area and the protected coastal landscape of the Kępa Redłowska nature reserve.
The path provides one of the few direct, non-climbing access routes from Gdynia's central district to the base of the Redłowo Cliffs.

The Feliks Nowowiejski Seaside Boulevard is a 1.5-kilometer paved promenade in Gdynia that connects the city center to the Redłowo Cliff. It serves as a primary recreational artery, featuring dedicated paths for pedestrians, cyclists, and rollerbladers. The route runs directly adjacent to the Baltic Sea coastline, providing unobstructed views of the Gdańsk Bay. A monument dedicated to the Polish composer Feliks Nowowiejski, known for his association with the region, serves as a focal point. The boulevard is integrated into the larger Gdynia seaside park system, which includes green spaces and coastal access points. It remains a key infrastructure link for residents and tourists moving between the city's harbor district and the nature reserve areas.
