Jomas Street
About
Jomas Street, one of the oldest and most iconic boulevards in Jurmala, stretches along the coast in the Majori district and is a pedestrian-only promenade dedicated to visitors, families, and culture‑seekers alike. The boulevard is flanked by charming Art Nouveau wooden houses that give the street its historic character and serve as a backdrop for a lively mix of cafés, bars, souvenir stalls, fruit vendors and a small cinema. Strolling down Jomas Street offers a quintessential Latvian seaside experience: the rhythmic sound of waves from the Gulf of Riga, a gently curved promenade lined with old‑world balconies, and easy access to the beach footpath for those who wish to walk to the shore. During the summer months visitors can also enjoy live music performances or seasonal street festivals that take place right on the street. Given its central location and endless variety of food, shopping and entertainment options, Jomas Street is a perfect one‑hour walk for visitors who want to soak in the atmosphere of Latvian resort life without the need for an admission ticket or reservation.
