The Beka Nature Reserve is located on the Bay of Puck, between Osłonin and Rewa, and protects unique halophytes, flood meadows and breeding grounds for many bird species. It is an ideal place for lovers of silence, nature and bird watching, especially during spring and autumn migrations. A paved bicycle path runs through the reserve, which is part of the R10 route (Velo Baltica), making it a convenient destination for bikepackers. It is worth taking binoculars and avoiding entering the meadows outside the designated route so as not to scare away the birds. This is one of those points on the map that allows you to truly feel the contact with nature without the crowds.

A faunistic nature reserve on the Kashubian Coast on the Bay of Puck, at the mouth of the Reda River into the Baltic Sea, near the town of Beka, swallowed by the sea (the remains of this settlement are tall trees, stone foundations and a wooden cross on the shore of the Bay of Puck).

The reserve includes swampy halophilous (salt) meadows, changeably wet meadows and sedge flush fens, as well as rushes and dune formations.

A number of rare, protected or endangered species of halophilic plants can be found in salt meadows: Gerard's rush, seaside milkwort, sea warbler, seaside plantain, seaside bulrush, Tabernemontana's mollusc, russetaceae, common aster and salt aster. In turn, the meadow fed with fresh waters in the northern part of the reserve is a habitat of orchids, such as the stag beetle or Loesela's lilywort, as well as other strictly protected species of flora: the common swamp rot and the insectivorous plant butterfly.

The reserve area is a habitat of many rare species of birds - they have been observed breeding here: bittern, greylag, shelduck, common shelduck, marsh harrier, hen harrier, meadow harrier, spotted owl, green warbler, crane, oystercatcher, ringed plover, redshank, lapwing, snipe, tern white-fronted owl (disappeared after 1997 - due to excessive pressure from people visiting the reserve's beaches), kingfisher, marsh owl and lemon wagtail (nesting in the reserve since 1995).
