About Jamno (lake)#
Jamno is a coastal lake or lagoon on Poland’s Baltic coast in West Pomeranian Voivodeship, adjacent to the seaside resort area near Mielno. It is a shallow, brackish body of water separated from the open sea by a narrow sand spit.
The lake is used for small-boat recreation, fishing and birdwatching, and the shoreline near Mielno has recreational facilities and seasonal visitor services. The water body forms part of the coastal landscape that supports migratory and resident waterfowl.
Jamno formed as a coastal lagoon through sedimentation and changes in sea connections over time, producing the spit and brackish conditions seen today.
