You can walk at seaside and enjoy nice views. The beach is sandy, but with many stones. If you come here during mid-June till August you can also swim in the sea.

This church is built in 19th century on the place of 17th century wooden church. The church suffered a lot during both World Wars, but it was restorated in early 1990-ies. There is a cemetery near the church. Some of the burial stones (from Soviet times) have no crosses, but anchor for captain or high rank sailor, a cup and snake for doctor (see the picture for this tip!) or something else noting their profession.

You can get to Roja by bus from Riga (few times a day; 2.5 hours; 3 LVL), Talsi (several times a day; 1 hour, 1 LVL), Kolka (few times a day; 40 minutes; 1 LVL), Mazirbe (2 times a day; more than 1 hour; 1.5 LVL) or some other places. Check this site for more information: http://www.1188.lv/satiksme/. Very important note – check the route for Riga buses – a couple of them are not going the most straight route and will take 4 hours instead of 2.5 hours.
