More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the ferry into a landscape where sand moves like a slow tidal wave and pines lean toward the Baltic as if listening to it. The Curonian Spit is a long, narrow ribbon of land — wind-sculpted dunes on the seaward side, a calm lagoon on the other — and an all-day tour from Klaipėda threads through its most dramatic chapters.
