The municipality of Choczewo is the only municipality in the District of Wejherowo which borders with the Baltic Sea coast. The 17 km long coastline has very quiet and clean beaches which you can reach from the villages of Lubiatowo, Słajszewo and Sasino. The 100-year old 55 m high lighthouse Stilo in the tiny village Osetnik near Sasino is open to visitors. It is built on a 45 m high dune about 1 km from the Baltic Sea. Stilo is made of bolt-together cast-iron parts. You can find this unique type of lighthouse worldwide only three times.
