Things to do

The beach is sandy and stretches either side of the pier for many km - south to the lagoon outlet at Klaipėda, north to the small resort of Šventoji. The central strip is congested at the height of summer; the further away you go, the quieter it gets. Walking up and down J. Basanavičiaus Street, the main pedestrian street leading to the beach and pier.
