Palanga Beach
Palangos paplūdimys
A white-sand beach stretching for about 18 km, backed by dunes and pine forest. It is Lithuania's most popular seaside swimming spot.
Palanga Beach has fine white sand, with low dunes and pine forests behind it. It stretches from South Palanga in the south to Šventoji in the north. The town centre near the pier is the liveliest part, with lifeguard stations and beach bars. North of the centre, there are traditional separate bathing areas for women and men. Swimming season runs from July to August. The sea is fairly cold, but the Baltic is shallow and the waves are gentle. The dunes are protected, so use the wooden walkways to access the beach.
Opening hours
Open all day; summer lifeguards on duty approx. 10:00–19:00
