Kaliningrad coast and Curonian Spit travel guide

The Kaliningrad region offers various coastal attractions along the Sambia Peninsula, including the Curonian Spit, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This 98-kilometer sand spit lies between the Baltic Sea and the Curonian Lagoon, shared by Russia and Lithuania.

Key destinations in the area include Zelenogradsk, known for its seaside promenade; Svetlogorsk, an elegant resort featuring German-style villas and cliffs; and Yantarny, recognized as an amber capital with significant amber quarries and beaches. The Curonian Spit itself is a national park characterized by massive dunes, pine forests, and major migratory bird routes.
