The beach is absolutely stunning with its empty shores, ideal wind for flying kites, friendly locals, and breathtaking views. After visiting Latvia, it has become one of my top summer destinations without a doubt. It's also perfect for camping.

Definitely worth checking out! This beach is quite intriguing with a remarkable natural occurrence where the waves from two different seas collide. We happened to visit on a windy day, so fortunately, the unpleasant odor of decaying algae wasn't overpowering.

It's a great place to visit, and they even have small cabins for camping. I think the location is always a bit windy, but it's a peaceful beach to relax and enjoy some quality time.
