Probably one of the most beautiful lakes in the Suwałki region. Paid parking, a swimming area, a small beach, all well-maintained.

Beata's bench was unveiled in August 2017 in front of the famous "Albatros" restaurant (built in 1962 according to a design by Henryk Gomółka). The bronze statue, depicting the heroine of Janusz Laskowski's song "Beata," was created by sculptor Michał Selerowski. The artist posed for the artist: Barbara Bujnowska, winner of the "Gazeta Współczesna" poll, who was chosen by the residents of the Podlaskie Voivodeship to succeed the legendary Beata. The poll was organized by "Gazeta Współczesna" in 2015, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the song's composition. The bench on which Beata sits recalls the story of a beautiful love that unfolded in Augustów over 50 years ago and resonated at parties across Poland for many years. The Beata bench project was implemented with the support and involvement of many institutions, including the initiator and media partner "Gazeta Współczesna" and sponsors, including the Augustów Consumer Cooperative "Społem", the British American Tobacco factory in Augustów, and the MPPB J.W. Ślepsk.

Lake Sajno, located right next to Augustów, is a large, clean body of water surrounded by forests, ideal for cyclists looking for a quiet place to relax close to the city. The lake has a well-developed shoreline with several wild beaches where you can take a break, and the water encourages swimming in the summer. There are forest roads and gravel roads around it, which are good for trekking bikes, although they can be muddy in places after rain. In the season, it is worth having mosquito repellent and a supply of water, because the nearest shops are only in Augustów.

King Sigismund II Augustus Column – built in 2007, on the occasion of the 450th anniversary of granting city rights. It was built on the initiative of the residents as a thank you to the founder.
