Šventoji
A quiet seaside town north of Palanga, with a river mouth, a lighthouse, and wide sandy beaches; a good choice for family holidays.
Šventoji lies about 12 km north of Palanga and is the northernmost resort town on the Lithuanian coast. Known for its river mouth, small fishing harbor, and wide fine-sand beaches, it has a calmer atmosphere than Palanga and offers an amusement park and water park, making it popular with families. At the northern river mouth stands the Šventoji Lighthouse. On a hill nearby, the 'Ražės' wooden pillars, a reconstruction of the Samogitian sanctuary 'Romuva' (Ražių Alkas), display ancient pagan beliefs. You can cycle to Šventoji from Palanga along the seaside bike path.
