Wicko is a by-coastal lake on the Slovincian Coast, located in Gmina Postomino, in Sławno County, in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship in Poland. The lake was formed due to a spit closing the body of the water off from the Baltic Sea.[1] The lake is located near the Wicko Morskie Airport in Wicko Morskie.[2]
