Latest reviews on Riga's beaches

Jurmalas pludmale
10 Rashid Alvi

The expanse of this beach is truly impressive. Our arrival was timed perfectly for the sunset, and the tranquility of the Gulf was immediately apparent. I even had the chance to capture some stunning aerial footage with my drone. However, it's worth noting that the mosquitoes are out in full force at night, and my child unfortunately suffered some swelling from their bites. Despite this, the beach and the sea itself were absolutely idyllic. The surrounding city of Jurmala only added to the allure, with its abundance of opulent apartments and villas.

We were satisfied with our family's experience at the beach.

Melluzu pludmale

The sea beach is absolutely lovely with its pristine waters and soft sand. The air is refreshing and invigorating, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. I highly recommend visiting this beach for a rejuvenating experience.

Carnikava beach
8 Karina L

This year in 2018, the walk to the beach through the forest is a lovely experience that spans around 3 km. You can also bike or go for morning runs in the area. The beach itself is relatively clean with white sand, and there are toilets available except during the colder seasons. It's not crowded, making it an ideal spot for those who want to relax. One thing to note is that if you head towards Garciems (to the left), you may come across a nudist beach, so be mindful. During winter, there aren't any shops in the area, so it's best to bring your own tea. However, you may be lucky enough to come across small ice cream shops on the beach. Enjoy your visit!
