Beka [ˈbɛka] was a settlement in the administrative district of Gmina Puck, within Puck County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1]
The first mention of the village was in 1523. Due to engineering of the river Reda in the 19th century, the sea-shore was changed and the village often flooded. This caused its population to decrease. After a fire in 1960 the village was abandoned.[2]
