Marian the Seagull, the Lifeguard

The “Marian the Lifeguard” Seagull is one of the most distinctive figures along Kołobrzeg’s famous “Marian Trail.” Located on West Beach, it gazes out to sea through binoculars while holding a lifebuoy under its wing, symbolizing concern for the safety of those vacationing on the Baltic Sea.

This charming sculpture humorously references the work of lifeguards, while also serving as a reminder of Kołobrzeg’s seaside character. Marian the Lifeguard Seagull quickly became a popular spot for strolls and souvenir photos, adding a touch of charm and local color to the seaside landscape. It is a small attraction that perfectly captures the atmosphere of a city connected to the sea, leisure, and Baltic traditions.
