You step off the Klaipėda ferry and the wind immediately changes the conversation — cold Baltic air that pushes and tests your jacket, then eases into a sun-warmed hush as you move into pine forest. The Curonian Spit narrows to a ribbon of sand between lagoon and sea; the path threads through ochre dunes, lighthouse views and tidy fishing lodges with carved trim.

Bring windproof layers
The spit sits between two bodies of water; wind and sudden temperature shifts are common, so a light windproof jacket is essential.
Wear sturdy shoes
Expect sandy slopes and forest paths — trail shoes with good tread make dune climbs and boardwalks far more comfortable.
Carry a reusable water bottle
Water stops are limited on the spit; refill before you board and carry enough for a few hours, especially in summer.
Respect marked trails
Dunes are actively managed to prevent erosion — stay on boardwalks and viewing platforms to protect vegetation and nesting birds.
