Molo w Kołobrzegu is a 220-meter long reinforced concrete pier extending into the Baltic Sea. It serves as the primary maritime vantage point for the city of Kołobrzeg. The current structure was officially inaugurated in 1971 following the demolition of a previous wooden pier destroyed during World War II. At the end of the pier, a small café and observation area provide panoramic views of the Kołobrzeg lighthouse and the coastline. The structure features a distinctive 'Y' shape at its seaward terminus. It remains a focal point for urban recreation and connects the beachfront promenade to the open water.
