Jastrzębia Góra:
 
A beautiful cliffy sea shore and cliff face (32.8 metres above the ground) are the pride of this part of the Baltic Sea with its westernmost Rozewie Cape. The slopes of the cliff are covered in an old beech forest. The prevailing darkness in the forest is contrasted by the brightness of the lighthouse yard. The trees growing here still overshadow the view from the balcony but they aren't trimmed due to their age-160 years old. Some tree specimens are under protection. The steep slopes of the cliff covered in beech trees have been under protection since 1957 when the nature reserve called 'Rozewie Cape' was established. There is a 19th century fortress at the foot of the cliff. The stones which cover the beach and the sea bed were brought here before the Second World War in order to strengthen the coastline. 

The Star of the North Obelisk marks the northernmost point in Poland-54 50' 11''
 
The Jezuits' Chapel and the Saint Ignacy Loyola church were built in the mid-eighties. The church consists of 2 storeys-the lower level holds about 700 seats, the upper level can hold up to 2000 people.

The obelisk is in memoriam to King Waza the Third who was rescued from drowning after a failed expedition to Sweden. There is an eagle ready to fly situated on the top of the obelisk and it symbolizes the settlement of the virgin Baltic seaside areas.

Lisi Jar was once 10 metres long but the Baltic Sea took away a considerable part of it. Lisi Jar consitutes a 50-metre long opening between Rozewie and Jastrzebia Gora which is steep and covered in a beech forest.
