Užava Lighthouse
Užavas bāka
A white lighthouse standing on a sea cliff above the dunes, overlooking a wild coastline and a classic photo stop on the coast south of Ventspils.
Užava Lighthouse stands on a sea cliff about 25 km south of Ventspils. The present tower was rebuilt in 1957, and the surroundings are an undeveloped coast of dunes and pine forest. From the lighthouse you can walk along the beach. In summer you can buy a ticket to climb the tower for the view, while at other times you can only look at it from outside. You need a car to get there, and the last stretch is a forest dirt road, so check conditions after rain.
Opening hours
Tower climbing open in summer; check on site
