It is a nice beach with fine white sand and wide seashore. You will be amazed to see how many things you can do there.
There is plenty of playground equipment like slides, swings, and, etc. It offers you a place to play football or beach volleyball! Your kids will have fun as much as you do!
However, the temperature is not always perfect in Summer, so count on 15 - 18 degrees for water... But still I love it, because it is clean and doesn't have or almost doesn't have stones, when you're walking in the water.
There are few cafes around and kiosks on the shore. If you do like surfing, then there is a part in the middle dedicated to this particular reason. Then follows the designated area for nudists.
The only thing - it is not Western Europe so don't leave anything unattended otherwise it may be gone!

This museum is dedicated to fishing. You will find many fishermen’s homesteads, barns, smokehouses and even a wind mile. All of them been gathered here from different parts of Latvia. These houses are nicely decorated and still preserve that special spirit! Museum also displays different kinds of boats that been used by fishermen. It is possible to have a ride on a train dating back to 1916 for an extra fee if you wish.
During the summer, on the weekends, craftsmen are presenting their work for sale, which feels like German market.
You definitely gonna spend some quality time here as it is by far the best thing to do in Ventspils! So, come here in the morning, and then you would still have plenty of time to do the rest during the day!

Make sure that while you're there you check out the beach and jetty. It's a beautiful harbor and port. The jetty is made up of tons of concrete weights. You can walk all the way out to the tip. Beautiful view!!

A few miles away from Ventspils is the town of Kuldigas. There you can see Europe's widest waterfall. It stretches across the river and is only about two or three feet deep, so it's really easy to walk across it and fish. When you're done there, make sure to get the best ice cream in the world at one of the local ice cream street vendors.
