The first pier in Kołobrzeg was built in 1881. This was a wooden T-shaped construction, of about 100 metres in length. There was a jetty for sailing ships located on the end of the pier. The historic pier was partially destroyed during World War II.[2]

The current pier was officially opened on June 19, 1971.[2][4] A jetty, for small holiday barques located on the end of the pier allows for small sail sightseeing tour ships.[1] The Kołobrzeg Pier is one of the main attractions of the town.[3]

Plans exist to construct an additional pier, of about 260 meters in length, on the west side of the town as an extension of the Plażowa street[5] and eventually connect both of the locations together via a water tram.[6]

In 2019 an official tender has been published by the local authorities to develop an architectural concept of about a 50 meter long pier in osiedle Podczele,[7] on the east side of the town, to cover an existing rain water sewerage system.[8]
