Dzintari Mežaparks Observation Tower
Highlight • Viewpoint
View over the tree line, but only with a grid floor, so not for everyone. Above it sways a bit in the Baltic Sea wind.

Jūrmalas Tarzāns Adventure Park
Highlight • Climb
The climbing park at Dzintaru Mežaparks, known as “Jūrmala’s Tarzāns”, offers a varied adventure for climbing enthusiasts and families in the treetops of the pine forest. With over 98 different obstacles, including rope bridges and wooden platforms, and a 250-meter-long zip line that runs through the treetops, the park attracts visitors of all ages. The seven different courses vary in difficulty and offer something for everyone - whether children or adults.
In addition to the climbing attractions, “Tīklu Parks” also has a separate net climbing area, which is located at a height of around six meters and consists of various nets, slides and even a “swamp” made of nets. This area is particularly attractive for younger children and offers a safe environment with no age limit. Reservations are not required here, so spontaneous visits are possible.
There is a little criticism, however, for the waiting times at the climbing stations, especially on weekends, but the experience is still worth it.
The park is located close to the beach and invites you to take a stroll along the coast after an active day in the park and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of Jūrmala. Overall, Dzintaru Mežaparks is an ideal combination of nature experience and activity, offering both peace and adventure.

Wooden Boardwalk in Ragakāpa Nature Park
Highlight • Trail
The Ragakāpa Nature Park near Jūrmala offers an impressive mix of nature and tranquility, especially when you walk along the wooden paths that gently meander through the dune landscape. Characteristic pine trees grow here, which give the dune hills support and give the whole thing an almost enchanted atmosphere. The winding paths are well maintained and invite you to explore the area at your own pace.
What is special about this nature park is the diverse flora and fauna that can be experienced here, not far from the city. The park also serves as a protected area for the coastal dunes, which were formed by the wind and represent a typical landscape for the region. In summer, when the vegetation is in full bloom, the park appears lively and colorful, while in winter it surprises with a barren, almost meditative silence.
The Ragakāpa Nature Park offers you a relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of Jūrmala and brings you closer to the untouched nature of the Latvian coast. Perfect for a walk away from the city - here you can breathe in the fresh sea air and enjoy the silence of nature.

Mouth of the Lielupe
Highlight • River
The Lielupe estuary offers a striking scenery that perfectly captures the tranquility of the Latvian coast. Here, where the Lielupe River meets the vastness of the Baltic Sea, freshwater and sea merge to create a unique natural landscape. In sunny weather, the sky is dramatically reflected in the water, creating a feeling of vastness. Small sailboats and kayaks can often be seen floating in the estuary, gently moving with the current - a popular subject for photography enthusiasts.
The Lielupe, whose name translates as "big river", meanders through an area known for its pristine nature and picturesque coastal forests. The banks are lined with sandy stretches that invite you to walk or have a picnic. A visit here feels like being transported to another time, far from the urban hustle and bustle - a small oasis for nature lovers and those seeking peace and quiet.
The history of this place is also interesting: the region around the Lielupe has always been an important waterway for trade and fishing and played an important role in local culture. Today it is mainly a refuge for the residents of Riga, who enjoy a short trip into nature and the fresh breeze of the sea.

Buļļuciems Lighthouse
Highlight • Monument
Tucked away behind the pine trees, the Bulluciems Lighthouse rises above the dunes of Jūrmala in its simple red-orange form. Although it may not have the charm of historic lighthouses on the European coast, it still has an atmosphere all its own. Originally built to serve shipping on the Baltic Sea, it stands here today as a silent witness to decades gone by when lighthouses were still indispensable landmarks.
The route here leads through sandy paths and is ideal for a relaxing bike ride or a stroll through the natural landscape. Surrounded by the typical coastal pines of Jūrmala, it offers a quiet retreat that contrasts with the otherwise busy seaside promenade. Although the lighthouse cannot be climbed, the visit is worth it just to see this well-preserved landmark, gently embedded in the coastal landscape.
The surrounding vegetation and the rough Baltic breeze create an almost meditative mood that is rarely found amidst the dunes.

Dzintari Beach Access, Jūrmala
Highlight • Beach
The beach entrance in Dzintari in Jūrmala has a wild, natural atmosphere - the access leads through a gentle dune landscape, lined with low vegetation that bends in the wind. Especially on windy days, as you can see in your photo, the waves of the Baltic Sea seem rough and energetic. The path here is a reminder that Jūrmala is not only known for its well-kept beaches and historic villas, but also has a nature-loving side.
The wooden paths and the well-kept surroundings show that Jūrmala puts a lot of effort into preserving nature while maintaining comfort for visitors. Ideal for those who appreciate the unvarnished sea and the interplay of weather and waves.

When we arrive at Majori station, we first stroll through the shopping street and marvel at the different styles of the houses, which range from seaside architecture to Scandinavian and modern, and yet all fit together well.
