At Klaipeda, the Curonian Bay begins. A remarkable peninsula, the Curonian Spit or Neringa, leads southwards along the coast, mile after mile. Behind the peninsula is a large lagoon, the sheltered Curonian Bay.The peninsula "locking in" the Curonian lagoon is also, particularly in the north at Klaipeda, a recreation area. There you will find a yacht club, some restaurants, an outdoor museum and on the Baltic sea side - the beaches. The whole split is built up by sand dunes. The inner parts are forested.
