Dźwirzyno attracts many tourists thanks to opportunities for water sports, fishing, and annual events such as the nationwide run "Ku Słońcu" (Towards the Sun). The village is also part of the international Baltic Sea Cycle Route (R-10). In the past, Dźwirzyno, known as Rega, experienced many historical twists and turns, related to the Premonstratensian monastery and the port, which played an important role in trade. The first mentions of the settlement date back to the 13th century, and over the centuries, Dźwirzyno went through various stages of development, from fishing to becoming a health resort in the 20th century. In 1947, the current name Dźwirzyno was introduced. An interesting fact is the existence of natural monuments in the nearby areas, such as pedunculate oaks, and the development of sports infrastructure, including the Municipal Sports and Recreation Center offering various forms of physical activity. Dźwirzyno is not only a tourist gem but also a place with a rich history and beautiful natural environment.
