Miķeļbāka Lighthouse
Miķeļbākas bāka
One of the tallest lighthouses on the Baltic coast, about 62 m high, on the coastal road from Kolka to Ventspils.
Mikeļbāka Lighthouse is about 62 m tall and is one of the tallest lighthouses in the Baltic states. The present tower was built in 1957, and the base of the old lighthouse is preserved beside it. In summer you can pay to climb to the top by several hundred steps and look out over the coastal forest and shoreline. It lies about 40 km west of Kolka and is a good stop when driving along the coast to Ventspils. Opening hours are irregular, so check before you go.
