From the peaceful shores of Jūrmala to the raw beauty of Liepāja and the charming Cape Kolka. The best beaches in Latvia are just waiting to be discovered. Thanks to the Baltic coastline decorated with picturesque sandy stretches and charming dunes, this is a fascinating tourist proposition for a coastal sea adventure.
Latvia, on the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea between its fellow Baltic States Estonia and Lithuania is a great choice for travellers seeking an alternative to the overcrowded Med.
Latvia’s coast stretches for 500km, around 200km of this along the shores of the Baltic Sea, with the other 300km lining the Gulf of Riga, a large bay partially separated from the rest of the Baltic by the Estonian island of Saaremaa.
Jurkalne
The picturesque village of Jurkalne, located only 50 km from Liepāja, boasts a beach with unique turquoise water. This is one of the most beautiful places on the Baltic Sea in Latvia. You can go down to the beach via wooden stairs from the over 20-meter cliff.
Cape Kolka
Cape Kolka Beach, located in the picturesque village of Kolka, is a gem located at the tip of Cape Kolka, where the Baltic Sea meets the Gulf of Riga. This picturesque beach stretches for approximately 4 kilometers and is characterized by pristine white sand complemented by crystal clear water. Thanks to its unique geographical location, Cape Kolka Beach offers visitors incredible natural views and a tranquil setting, perfect for nature and beach lovers alike.
Jurmala
Jurmala is the second largest city in Latvia, located approximately 10 km west of Riga on the Baltic Sea, between the Gulf of Riga and the Lelupa River. This is a unique place in Latvia with kilometers of beaches with white, fine sand. The freshness of the sea encourages long walks on the water’s edge, and at sunset there is a magical atmosphere. It is very shallow for many meters from the shore, so the beach is especially recommended for parents with small children.
