Jūrkalne Bluffs
Jūrkalnes stāvkrasts
One of the tallest sea-eroded cliffs on the Baltic coast, with sandy bluffs about 20 metres high stretching for several kilometres above a wide beach.
Jūrkalne lies on the coast about 35 km west of Kuldīga. Wave erosion has carved sandy bluffs roughly 15–20 metres high. There is a viewing platform at the top, and wooden stairs lead down to the beach. Watching the sunset over the sea from here in the evening is spectacular. Amber can often be found on the beach, and visitors are few. The soil at the cliff edge is loose, so stay well back from the edge. There is no direct bus service, so you'll need a car.
