Kamień Lagoon is a lagoon on the Oder River in north-western Poland. It is part of the Dziwna.
Both the lagoon and the Dziwna are part of Poland's internal waters.[citation needed]
Several settlements lie on the shores of the lagoon, notably (in order of population) Kamień Pomorski, Dziwnów, Międzywodzie, Wrzosowo and Dziwnówek. There are also three small villages on Chrząszczewska Island: Chrząszczewo, Chrząszczewko and Buniewice.
Until 1945, the lagoon was referred to by its German name of Camminer Bodden.[citation needed] In 1949, it officially became called Kamieński Zalew,[citation needed] and in 1991 the words in its name were reversed, its new name being Zalew Kamieński.[citation needed]
