Chałupy gained national fame in the 1980s as a hub for the Polish naturist movement, immortalized by a popular song.
The beach is situated on a sandbar that acts as a natural breakwater between the open Baltic Sea and the shallower, warmer waters of the Bay of Puck.
Entrance 2 is historically associated with the designated nude bathing area (FKK) of the region.
The Hel Peninsula, where this beach is located, was an island chain before being connected by accumulated sediment.
Plaża Chałupy - Wejście nr 2 is a recognized naturist-friendly beach located on the Hel Peninsula in Poland. The area is defined by its fine white sand and proximity to the Bay of Puck, separating it from the open Baltic Sea. The specific entrance provides access to a quieter stretch of coastline compared to the main beaches in nearby Władysławowo or Jastarnia. The landscape is characterized by coastal dunes protected by marram grass. This location is part of a narrow strip of land where the distance between the Baltic Sea and the Puck Bay is at its shortest. The beach features a distinct atmosphere of privacy due to the natural screen provided by the surrounding forest and dunes. It serves as a popular spot for individuals seeking solitude away from urbanized beach resorts.

Bring your own supplies, as there are no permanent food or equipment rental facilities directly at this specific entrance.
Use the marked paths through the dunes to reach the beach to help preserve the fragile coastal vegetation.
The wind can be strong on the Baltic side; bring a windbreak screen if staying for several hours.
Do not wander into the dunes outside of marked wooden paths, as this causes erosion and is subject to fines.
Best experienced during the summer season; off-season, the infrastructure is limited and temperatures are low.
This area has a long-standing tradition of naturism; visitors should respect the local culture of clothing-optional bathing.
