Curonian Spit, Lithuania

Nida

On a sliver of pine and sand between lagoon and open Baltic, Nida is the quietest seaside resort in Europe you've never considered: amber-coloured fishermen's cottages, smoked-fish stalls and the vast Parnidis Dune, from whose sundial summit you survey sand, sea and lagoon at once.

About this place

The Baltic is brisk but genuinely swimmable in July and August. Fly to Palanga or Kaunas, ferry across from Klaipėda, then bus down the spit — the journey itself is half the calm.
