The beach is located directly below the Central Sports Center (COS), which hosts professional athletes for year-round training camps.
The coastline at Cetniewo is defined by a steep cliff ridge that separates the town infrastructure from the shoreline.
A dedicated staircase provides the primary pedestrian access from the bluff to the beach level.
The area contains a series of submerged technical breakwaters installed to mitigate the loss of sand caused by longshore currents.
Plaża Cetniewo is a broad sandy stretch located in Władysławowo on the Baltic coast of Poland. It serves as the primary beach area for the adjacent COS Cetniewo Olympic Preparation Center. The beach features a distinct concrete pier and breakwaters designed to protect the coastline from erosion. It is categorized by high water quality standards and is monitored by seasonal lifeguards. The area transitions directly into the coastal promenade that connects Władysławowo with nearby Chłapowo. Visitors have access to a network of walking paths that navigate the cliffside topography bordering the sand. The beach is exposed to prevailing northern winds, making it a frequent site for wind-based activities. It remains one of the most accessible beach segments in the Puck County region.

Access the beach via the stairs near the Olympic Center to avoid long walks from the main town center.
Check local wind forecasts, as the open coast can experience significant temperature drops even in summer.
Bring footwear suitable for walking on sandy paths that connect the beach to the upper cliff park.
Avoid walking on the dunes or the concrete breakwaters, as both are restricted to prevent erosion and ensure safety.
Lifeguard supervision is strictly limited to the summer months.
Topless sunbathing is common but remains a social preference; standard beach swimwear is expected.
