TheBay of Puck orPuck Bay (Polish:Zatoka Pucka;Kashubian:Pùckô Hôwinga;German:Putziger Wiek), is a shallow western branch of theBay of Gdańsk in the southernBaltic Sea, off the shores ofGdańsk Pomerania,Poland. It is separated from the open sea by theHel Peninsula.[1]
The bay has an average depth of 2 m (7 ft) to 6 m (20 ft). There is a shallow sand-bank fromRewa toKuźnica in the middle of Hel Peninsula. The bay is available only for small fishing boats and yachts, which have to stick to the strict deeper routes. There are deposits ofpotassium salt below the Bay of Puck. The mainports arePuck,Jastarnia, andHel.
The name has nothing to do with the sport of ice hockey. In Polish the word "puck" doesn't mean anything, and the sport is popular only in the southern part of the country, opposite to the coast.
