Ventspils beach is situated in the resort town of Ventspils, Latvia, and is a popular spot for both tourists and locals. The beach spans over a kilometer and boasts clean, white sand, earning it the Blue Flag award for its pristine condition.
The entry into the sea is gentle, however, swimmers should take caution as the depth increases quickly, beginning only 10 meters from the coast. The beach is sectioned off for various activities, including designated areas for smokers and surfers.
Additionally, Ventspils offers a year-round aquapark for visitors to enjoy. However, due to the region's soft sea climate, visitors should anticipate few sunny days and often overcast skies and rain.
The peak season for Riga Seaside's beaches is in late July and August, with comfortable temperatures. For those seeking a well-maintained and aesthetically pleasing beach in Latvia, Ventspils is an excellent choice.
Visitor reviews highlight that the beach is well-equipped with amenities such as bike racks, lifeguards, and changing rooms, making it great for families. Visitors enjoy the nice sand, beautiful sand dunes, and pine forest surrounding the beach. However, visitors complain about the sea being cold and the presence of pebbles and bottle caps in the sand.
