The two whale sculptures are officially named Bolko and Puszek by the local community.
The square was constructed as part of a revitalization project to modernize the Rewal seaside promenade.
The sculptures were designed to commemorate the historical, albeit rare, appearance of whales in the Baltic Sea region.
The plaza is located on the edge of a high cliff, placing it significantly higher than the nearby beach level.
Plac Wielorybów (Whale Square) is a public plaza in Rewal, Poland, named for two life-sized whale sculptures that serve as the town's focal point. The sculptures are cast in concrete and designed as artistic representations of mammals once sighted in the Baltic Sea. The square serves as a pedestrianized gathering area situated directly above the coastal cliffs. It functions as a key orientation point for tourists exploring the town's seaside promenades. The site is maintained by the local municipality and remains accessible to the public year-round as an outdoor installation.

Visit during sunset to capture the silhouettes of the whale statues against the Baltic Sea horizon.
Combine your visit with a walk along the cliff-top promenade that connects the square to the town's lighthouse.
Do not attempt to climb onto the whale sculptures, as it is discouraged for safety and preservation reasons.
