The aim of the study conducted at the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn in 2011 was to assess the influence of selected environmental factors on the use of Warmia and Mazury beaches by 298 women aged 19–20. The research was carried out by a diagnostic survey method employing an anonymous questionnaire. The following environmental factors were applied in the research: the place of permanent residence, parents’ education, students’ monthly budget, the distance between the place of residence and the nearest lake, and the availability and quality of beaches. The research showed that in the majority of cases the applied environmental factors did not influence how often the respondents frequented Warmia and Mazury beaches. It was observed that irrespective of environmental factors most women went to the beach no more than five times a year, with significantly fewer declaring doing so 6–15 times. None of the women went to the beach more than 15 times per year.
