Juodkrantė
A long-established resort at the north end of the Spit, with German-era villas, a red-brick church, Amber Bay and a stone sculpture park by the lagoon.
In the 19th century, Juodkrantė grew up around amber mining and later became a holiday resort in East Prussia. Wooden villas remain along the lagoon shore, as does a Neo-Gothic Lutheran church built in 1885. A lagoon path leads past the "Earth and Water" stone sculpture park, which is also a good spot for watching the sunset. The village has a smokehouse for fish and a small amber collection and exhibition. It is about 35 km from Nida and 20 km from Klaipėda.
