	The Beaches in Warsaw began to be popular with sunbathing during the interwar period of the 20th century. In around the Miedzeszyński Embankment ("Wał Miedzeszyński") functioned a popular beach area, this included the Beach of the Kozłowski Brothers ("Plaża Braci Kozłowskich") and the "Poniatówka" urban beach - both of which had wooden pavilions and changing rooms. The modern functional beaches in Warsaw were featured in "National Geographic"'s "Top Urban Beaches in the World".
