The area is the site of the former 'Polanka' restaurant, which was a social hub in Gdynia during the mid-20th century.
The cliffs at Redłowska consist of glacial till and are subject to constant erosion by the Baltic Sea, resulting in a changing coastline shape.
Polanka Redłowska marks the northern boundary of the Kępa Redłowska Nature Reserve.
The site contains concrete remnants of a large, salt-water swimming pool that operated in the area before being decommissioned in the 1970s.
It is a frequent nesting ground for diverse avian species due to its position within a protected forest corridor.
Polanka Redłowska is a coastal recreational meadow located on the high sea cliffs between Gdynia City Centre and the Orłowo district. It functions as a public park space featuring an open lawn, concrete seating, and direct access to a pebble beach via cliff-side trails. Historically, the area hosted a famous open-air restaurant and a swimming pool complex, remnants of which are still visible in the site's layout. The site provides elevated vantage points overlooking the Gulf of Gdańsk and the Gdynia port area. It serves as a vital green link in the coastal forest buffer zone that separates the urban development of Gdynia from the Baltic coastline. The meadow is popular for spontaneous picnics and as a waypoint for hikers traveling the coastal forest trail between Gdynia and Sopot.

Wear sturdy footwear if you plan to descend the cliff paths to reach the beach, as trails can be slippery.
Bring a picnic blanket as formal seating is limited to concrete benches and open lawn space.
Check the local coastal erosion warnings if traveling during or after heavy storms, as cliff paths can become unstable.
Attempting to climb or descend the cliff faces outside of marked trails due to risk of rockfalls and soil instability.
No specific dress code, though the terrain requires flat, closed-toe walking shoes; maintain silence to avoid disturbing local wildlife.
