Discover the natural beauty of the Curonian Peninsula on a tour that combines a beach break and a walk through an evergreen pine forest. You’ll relax and play on a certified Blue Flag beach, a beautiful, honey-colored stretch of sand that meets stringent environmental and quality standards. In fact the entire Curonian Peninsula is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, because of ongoing efforts put in place more than a century ago to stabilize and reforest the area, thus preserving the fragile coastline.
A quick ferry ride takes you away from the bustle of town to the sparkling coast. Enjoy a walk through the forest on your way to the beach, where you’ll have a couple of hours to lounge in a beach chair, take a stroll, go for a relaxing swim or paddle out into the Baltic Sea. If you’re hungry, snacks and refreshments are available for purchase at a nearby cafe. Then head back through the forest for your ferry ride back. After your tour, Old Town Klaipeda is within walking distance should you wish to do some exploring before returning to your ship.
