Packing for a family holiday can be surprisingly overwhelming, especially when you’re travelling with children. The list of things to take grows in no time. One item after another… and suddenly your suitcases are bursting at the seams. Fortunately, there is an easier way. When you choose Kacze Stawy, you really can pack lighter. Why? Because plenty of amenities and attractions are already waiting for you on site and included in the price of your stay — so there is no need to bring half your home with you. Take a look at this short, practical guide to what is worth packing and what you can safely leave in the wardrobe. Then simply enjoy a carefree family holiday by the sea.
Clothes for every kind of weather – by the Baltic Sea, layering is the best approach
It is best to pack clothes that can be worn in layers and easily adjusted to the changing weather by the sea. The Baltic coast can be unpredictable — a sunny morning may turn into a cooler, windy evening, especially during family walks or bonfires organised at the resort.
The most useful things to pack include:
- lightweight T-shirts and shorts for warm days,
- sweatshirts or jumpers for cooler evenings,
- a light rain jacket,
- comfortable trainers and flip-flops,
- swimwear for both the beach and the swimming pool.
A warm sweatshirt is an absolute essential, even in the middle of summer. Evening entertainment, walks and shared bonfires at Kacze Stawy are much more enjoyable when you do not have to worry about feeling cold.
As our resort offers plenty of outdoor attractions across its spacious green grounds, it is worth being prepared for both active days and calm, cooler evenings.

A travel first-aid kit – a small item that brings great peace of mind
A small first-aid kit with the essentials is enough to help you feel prepared throughout your stay. Although pharmacies are easy to find in Łeba, it is much more convenient to have the most important items close at hand — especially when travelling with children.
It is worth packing:
- a thermometer,
- plasters for minor grazes, especially after running barefoot on grass or sand,
- disinfectant,
- high-SPF sunscreen,
- insect bite relief,
- any essential medication taken regularly.
Kacze Stawy is a spacious resort full of attractions, from playgrounds and sports courts to swimming pools and children’s entertainment. An active holiday means plenty of movement and fun, so minor scrapes or tiredness after a sunny day are completely natural. A well-prepared first-aid kit allows you to deal with small problems quickly and get back to enjoying your holiday without unnecessary stress.

Beach gear and toys – you do not need much for great fun
You really do not need much for a day at the beach. Just a few simple items can give children hours of fun: buckets, spades, sand moulds or a small ball. These timeless classics never get boring. Best of all, they take up very little space, so they will easily fit into a single bag.
It is worth packing:
- a sandcastle-building set,
- a blanket or lightweight beach mat,
- a beach bag,
- beach towels and sun hats.
You can safely leave sports equipment and bicycles at home. There is a bike rental service on site, so whenever you feel like going for a ride, everything you need is close at hand. The resort also offers sports courts, an outdoor gym and plenty of attractions for children.
The result? Lighter luggage and more room for spontaneous fun and active leisure.

Documents and small essentials that make the start of your holiday easier
The most important things to bring are your documents and a few items that will help younger guests feel comfortable. Children often settle into a new place more quickly when they have familiar, favourite belongings with them.
Your must-have list should include:
- an ID card,
- your booking confirmation,
- your child’s favourite soft toy or blanket,
- slippers or lightweight footwear for wearing in the cottage or room,
- phone chargers and a power bank.
Both the seaside cottages for families with children and the family rooms are fully equipped. You will find amenities such as towels, a fridge, a kettle, a hairdryer and comfortable beds. This means you do not need to bring many household items that would otherwise take up valuable space in your suitcase.
