- Nida beach (Neringa municipality) - located on the Curonian Spit, which is a narrow, 97km long peninsula with Baltic Sea shoring it in the west and the Curonian Bay in the east. Its landscape is composed of sand dunes, rare greenery, linden and pine trees growing in sandy soil. The settlements of the Curonian Spit - Nida, Preila, Pervalka, Juodkrante. From 1991, 52 kilometres of the Curonian Spit make the National Park. At the end of 2000, UNESCO as the part of heritance of the world honored the landscape of the Curonian Spit.
