Ventspils beach

The entry into the sea even though is smooth, but the depth begins already 10 meters from the coast. The beach is a kind of fenced on both sides: from the coastline, sand dunes cover it from the wind, which rise almost 20 m above the sea, and from the sea - a stone pier, that stretches for almost a kilometer. At the end of the mall there is an viewing platform, from which it is possible to enjoy the sunset.

Rescuers are carefully watching the vacationers. During season, Ventspils beach is very crowded. So that no one interferes with each other, the beach is divided into areas. A separate area for smokers, smoking is prohibited on the beach itself. Separate area for surfers and kiters. For them, as much as half a kilometer was allocated. There are also many playgrounds with slides and swings on the beach.

Ventspils also has an aquapark, where children and adults can enjoy warm water at any time of the year. After all, the Baltic Sea is cold. It is possible to get to Ventspils by a bus, leaving Riga. The duration of the trip is 3 hours. It is possible to get by bike: from Riga to Ventspils there are wonderful bicycle paths.

When is it better to go

The climate of the Latvian coast belongs to the soft sea. There are few sunny days in a year, and the rest of the time the sky is overcast, often it rains. The Baltic Sea does not freeze even in winter. But in summer, the water temperature off the coast only occasionally rises to +22...+23˚С. All the rest of the time - not more than +18˚С.

The peak season on the beaches of Riga Seaside begins in late July, August. The air temperature at this time reaches a comfortable +25°C, sometimes it can increase to +35°C. Winds often blow from the sea. The weather in Latvia is unpredictable, so when planning a vacation in the resorts of Latvia it is better to specifically monitor the weather.
