Kolka Village
Kolka
A fishing village beside the cape with a wooden church, a small harbour and a Livonian Cultural Centre. It is a base for accommodation and supplies.
Kolka is the only village beside the cape with a shop, restaurants and guesthouses. It is about 3 hours by car from Riga, or about 4 hours by bus. The village has a 19th-century Lutheran church and an Orthodox church. At the small fishing harbour you can buy smoked fish. The Livonian Cultural Centre presents the language and fishing and hunting traditions of this endangered people. Staying overnight is recommended. Watch the sunset at the cape in the evening, then head west along the coast the next day to visit the Livonian fishing villages in turn.
