This article is intended for people who have moved to Krakow or are spending ALOT of time here. This is more of a day trip- and as I write below would be a smart addition to a morning spent at Ojcow National Park. If you are only here as a tourist, and want to swim, it makes way more sense to go to Zakrzowek (early or late in the day, peak times have way too long of a wait time to get in) or The Bagry Lake.

Still in Malopolska (Lesser Poland), Sosina is reachable by car in about an hour from the city.  It is much bigger in size than the ones closer to the city, and could easily be combined with Ojcow National Park, since its on the way, as an entire day trip. Becuase of its size, not only is there more area to swim, but there is also the option to take a boat and go wake-boarding, rent paddle-boats with slides attached, and of course an even larger beach area to tan on as well.

Lay in the sand, bring a grill with you, even a tent to spend the night.  There is a stage for concerts, food trucks and ice cream trucks all around, and beers are flowing as well!   We just went last Sunday, and even though I consider Sunday the busiest days for most lakeside activities, there was so much room you felt like no one was even there.  I highly suggest a visit for a day if you have time, the water is refreshing, and the burgers from the food truck was delicious!
