General presentation
Slītere et cap Kolka
Ancient forests, live villages and encounter Baltic waters at the end of a coast that remains wild.
Cape Kolka, Slītere National Park and Livonian Coast give the most telling landmarks of Slītere and Cape Kolka. Together, they form a destination where the coastline, forests, heritage and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 4 to 8 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Must-see place
Cap Kolka
At Cape Kolka, a sand tongue marks the visible encounter between the Gulf of Riga and the open Baltic. Currents sometimes draw different lines in the water, while the wind, pines and beaches give the place a clear impression of natural border.
Nature park
Parc national de Slītere
In Slītere, the ancient dunes hide under the forest before giving way to the marshes, damp edges and beaches of Cape Kolka. The marked trails give access to this discreet relief without trampling on fragile environments, with beautiful lights when weather changes quickly on the Baltic.
Must-see place
Côte livonienne
The coast of Livonians aligns low villages, fishermen's houses, small cemeteries and traces of the live language facing the sea. Between Mazirbe, Košrags or Kolka, the road gets all sense at a slow pace, when fences, nets and roofs still tell the life of the shore.
