Curonian Spit / Kursiu Nerija National Park

Reviewed By Hawk470 - Baltimore, United States

Heading from Liepaja to Kaunas by car, we decided to detour, lunch in Klaipeda, and spend the afternoon in this ravishingly beautiful natural wonder. The short ferry ride dropped us on a spit of land stretching north from the closed Russian enclave in the former East Prussia to almost touch Lithuania at Klaipeda. This unique narrow strip offers many types of natural beauty with distinct experiences on the bay side and the side facing the Baltic Sea. Shifting sand dunes, lovely beaches, pine forests, hills to climb with magnificent views in all directions crowned by those startlingly beautiful Baltic clouds, wildlife galore, and, for a change of pace, the opportunity to glimpse the Russian border, complete with armed guards. The Spit also has several villages with lots of charm, inns, restaurants and vacation homes. The main one is Nida toward the southern end of the Spit. We visited in the off-season, so we avoided the crowds, but enjoyed unseasonably pleasant weather. We drove and stopped to walk in various places, but were left wishing we had more time. Time to be captured by the relaxed seaside pace, time to hike or bike deeper into the abundant beauty, and time to breathe more of that ever so fresh air. What started as a spontaneous, quick detour, became one of the most memorable stops on our Baltic journey.

Smiltyne Beach

Reviewed By UriusT - Vilnius, Lithuania

Simply put it is the best beach in the country. Why? It requires a ferry to get there, which is lovely and enjoyable. It attracts less troublesome groups than Palanga beaches. It is a city beach, right across the bay from Klaipeda city center. It is very large, with individualized beach areas for all needs: family, casual with bars, nude angry babushka beaches, other nude beaches, areas for dogs, and tons and tons of dunes to get lost and find your own place in for a drink or else.

Martynas Mazvydas Sculpture Park

Reviewed By KristianaBumbiere - Klaipeda, Lithuania

A sculpture park that used to be a city's cemetary before. Interesting feeling to have while walking there. It has a lot of art pieces that are worth seeing.
