Baltic coast

Rest on the sea, without a doubt, the most popular type of recreation. Therefore, it is not surprising that most tourists annually go to the beach. The beaches in our region have gained wide popularity thanks to the magnificent coastline, stretching for several tens of kilometers.

The Baltic coast is a tempting option for those who do not know where to go on vacation in the summer so that it is not too hot. There is no threat of severe acclimatization in the first days after arrival. And do not forget that every resort town on the Baltic Sea is an open-air museum. Beach vacation here can be combined with sightseeing tours. Especially popular are the beach recreation centers Curonian Spit, Svetlogorsk, Zelenogradsk, Yantarny.

The Curonian Spit

The most popular resort of the Baltic Sea in Russia is the Curonian Spit, a national park and a unique natural area.

The Curonian Spit National Park is located on the territory of the Zelenogradsky District, in the southern part of the Curonian Spit, and its northern part belongs to Lithuania. It is a sandy peninsula, occupies the southeastern side of the Baltic Sea and separates it from the Curonian Lagoon. http://visit-kaliningrad.ru/place/park-kosa/; http://www.park-kosa.ru/

Beaches of the Curonian Spit

On the Curonian Spit the largest and cleanest beaches in the Kaliningrad region. In the villages of Lesnoye, Rybachiy and Morskoye, located on the territory of the Curonian Spit, a tourist can find a haven for every taste and purse - from a comfortable hotel to private rooms "with amenities in the yard." Mass tourism is impossible here due to the restrictions imposed by the status of the tourist park, so it is unlikely that you will encounter crowds of tourists on the endless sandy beaches.

Each of the three villages has its own information center, where you can get comprehensive information about the sights of the Curonian Spit, book an excursion, and rent a bicycle.

Beaches of the Curonian Spit consist of the purest, shallow crystalline sand, which is very pleasantly crunching under your feet. And behind the high dunes lies the stunning nature of the spit, in which every second plant is from the IUCN Red List, and between them roe deer, wild boars, moose and foxes sometimes stroll.
