The statue was unveiled in 2010 as a gift to the city to highlight Ustka’s maritime identity.
It is a popular local tradition for visitors to touch the mermaid's tail for good luck.
The statue is situated at the precise point where the Słupia River flows into the Baltic Sea.
The location was specifically chosen to offer a view of the incoming and outgoing fishing vessels.
Syrenka Ustecka is a bronze mermaid statue located on the seaside promenade in the port town of Ustka, Poland. The sculpture is positioned overlooking the entrance to the Ustka harbor, serving as a symbolic guardian of local sailors and fishermen. It stands near the base of the eastern breakwater, an area central to the town's maritime history. The statue depicts a mermaid with a fish tail, referencing the town's historical connection to the Baltic Sea. It is integrated into the walking path that connects the beach area to the port infrastructure.
Position yourself on the promenade side to capture the statue with the open sea and harbor entrance in the background.
Visit during sunset for ideal lighting against the harbor backdrop.
Walk the full length of the eastern breakwater immediately after visiting the statue to see the lighthouse.
Bring windproof clothing as the open harbor area is frequently exposed to strong coastal gusts.
Do not attempt to climb the pedestal, as the area is monitored and prone to slippery surfaces.
