Jurmala Beach
About
Jurmala Beach, stretching 33 km along the Gulf of Riga, is a celebrated Latvian seaside resort known for its pristine white sand, shallow waters and family‑friendly atmosphere. The beach offers ample playgrounds, benches, football fields and volleyball courts, making it ideal for both relaxed sun‑bathing and active recreation. In recent years the Majori and Bulduri sections earned the coveted Blue Flag eco‑recognition, a testament to their clean, safe waters and high environmental standards. Beyond the shoreline, visitors can stroll along scenic promenades, explore nearby pine groves, and enjoy the historic wooden architecture that characterizes Jerma’s Art Nouveau heritage. Whether a casual day at the sea or a cultural exploration of the town’s charming cafés and historic buildings, Jurmala Beach delivers a quintessential Baltic beach experience for travelers of all ages.
