To make your stay in Jūrmala more comfortable and interesting, we would like to offer some ideas on how to spend your holidays in the largest Baltic resort city. Spending your holidays in Jūrmala is always the right choice!
→ Discover the diversity of the beach
Holidays by the sea are synonymous with summer. One of Jūrmala’s greatest assets is its 24 km long sandy beach. All along the beach, you can hide from the hustle and bustle, hang out in charming cafés, play volleyball, go jet-skiing and, of course, watch an unforgettable sunset.
The beaches have necessary facilities and are divided into quiet and active areas. The quiet area is for those who want to sunbathe, read a book, relax with the kids, or have a picnic. The active recreation area has nets for badminton and volleyball, and other ball sports such as football can be played on the beach. Water sports enthusiasts can kiteboard and windsurf in certain areas in Kauguri, Asari, Pumpuri and Lielupe.
There are about twenty children’s playgrounds along the beach.
Jūrmala Beach Centre has six beach volleyball courts, which can also be adapted for beach tennis, three beach football fields and handball courts, and an area for street gymnasts.
We invite you to enjoy the diversity of Jūrmala’s coastline in one of the Jūrtaka route sections. Walking along the beach or riverside, you can keep fit, see the natural, cultural, and architectural sights near the coast, have a meal in one of the restaurants or beach cafés and enjoy the beautiful scenery. In the dark hours of the day, we recommend a walk along the illuminated path in the beach section from Dzintari to Majori.
