About the place

Just a few minutes by ferry and you are in another world: among the quiet pine forests of the Curonian Spit, where the sea breathes tranquillity and the wind smells of resin. From the Old Smiltynė Ferry Terminal, the beach can be reached on foot or by bicycle along paths winding through a cosy pine forest, while cyclists will find convenient stops with bicycle racks. Smiltynė is one of the few Lithuanian beaches to have received the international “Blue Flag” award, a mark of exceptional quality. Here you will find clean sand, sports and play areas, changing cabins, toilets, Wi-Fi, charging points, a first-aid station and lifeguards on duty. The seaside area is accessible to everyone – from young children to visitors with reduced mobility.

For even more knowledge and experiences, visit the popular Lithuanian Sea Museum near the Southern Breakwater. In Smiltynė you can also stop by the Curonian Spit National Park Visitor Centre, see the legendary vessel “Dubingiai”, admire early-20th-century villas and visit an authentic fisherman’s homestead.

And if you want to go farther, buses from the New Ferry Terminal will take you to Juodkrantė, Pervalka, Preila or Nida.

Smiltynė is open around the clock. And it is always waiting for you.
