The reserve is named after the Redłowo district and covers approximately 120 hectares of protected landscape.
It is home to the rare beech forest community known as Fagetum boreale, which is native to the Baltic coast.
The cliffs are subjected to constant abrasion, leading to the collapse of trees and soil into the sea annually.
The military relics include remains of the 11th Bateria Artylerii Stałej, used for coastal defense during the post-WWII period.
The site is designated as a landscape reserve to protect its geological structures and maritime microclimate.
Rare plant species such as the common honeysuckle and various orchids thrive in the unique shade conditions of the ravine slopes.
Kępa Redłowska is a protected nature reserve located on a cliff overlooking the Baltic Sea, featuring both dense forest and historical military fortifications. The area preserves a morainic plateau with steep, crumbling coastal cliffs that reach heights of up to 60 meters. Visitors can find scattered concrete bunkers and artillery batteries dating back to the coastal defense efforts of the mid-20th century. The park features an extensive network of walking trails that wind through beech and pine woodland. Erosion from the sea constantly reshapes the coastline, making the cliff edge a dynamic geological site. It serves as a significant ecological corridor for local flora and fauna within the Gdynia city limits.
