Mi-Wuk Village, California

By far the best base for exploring the island is Międzyzdroje, which offers easy access to a long sandy beach and the best hiking trails in the area. A favourite Baltic resort with the prewar German middle class, it is now one of the west Baltic's busiest resorts. New hotels are springing up in the beachside areas, and the number of German and Scandinavian visitors is on the increase. However the centre of town remains a laid-back, far-from-overdeveloped place, its streets filled with trade-union-owned sanatoria and holiday homes. It may not look all that snazzy to the outsider, but Międzyzdroje was traditionally one of the places where Polish TV and film stars spent their holidays.
