The overall structure stands 38 metres tall, with the main panoramic viewing deck positioned at 33.5 metres

This is the main pedestrian street of Jurmala. It is home to shops, restaurants, banks, and other amenities. It is truly the heart of the city.

Located directly on the beach, this café with its minimalist white design looks like a haven of peace in nature. In summer, a pool area opens here, which offers refreshment, especially in hot weather. The understated architecture means the building blends unobtrusively into the dune landscape, giving it a modern, yet natural charm. The location invites you to sit back with a drink and enjoy the view of the sea - especially when the waves make a gentle noise and the beach is rather quiet. As a highlight in summer, the pool gives the café almost a small resort atmosphere, which is a nice change, especially for families.

The observation tower in Dzintari Mežaparks offers an impressive perspective of Jūrmala and its surroundings. Climbing the almost 30-meter-high structure opens up a view of the dense pine forests that stretch all the way to the Baltic Sea. Especially on clear days, you can enjoy a wide view that gives a good impression of Latvia's unique coastal landscape. The tower itself is a modern architectural highlight and blends harmoniously into the natural surroundings of the park. The ascent is via wide, safe stairs that wind around the tower and offer different levels to enjoy the view from different heights. Dzintari Mežaparks, known for its clean and well-maintained grounds, is a popular place for families, joggers and cyclists who want to enjoy nature close to the city. The tower is the icing on the cake of the park and an incentive for many to visit this place and experience the fresh sea air at a slightly different height.

The climbing park at Dzintaru Mežaparks, known as “Jūrmala’s Tarzāns”, offers a varied adventure for climbing enthusiasts and families in the treetops of the pine forest. With over 98 different obstacles, including rope bridges and wooden platforms, and a 250-meter-long zip line that runs through the treetops, the park attracts visitors of all ages. The seven different courses vary in difficulty and offer something for everyone - whether children or adults. In addition to the climbing attractions, “Tīklu Parks” also has a separate net climbing area, which is located at a height of around six meters and consists of various nets, slides and even a “swamp” made of nets. This area is particularly attractive for younger children and offers a safe environment with no age limit. Reservations are not required here, so spontaneous visits are possible. There is a little criticism, however, for the waiting times at the climbing stations, especially on weekends, but the experience is still worth it. The park is located close to the beach and invites you to take a stroll along the coast after an active day in the park and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of Jūrmala. Overall, Dzintaru Mežaparks is an ideal combination of nature experience and activity, offering both peace and adventure.

Stretching for miles along the Gulf of Riga, Jūrmala Beach has a long tradition as a spa and seaside resort and has been attracting visitors since the 19th century. It was a sought-after holiday destination for the elite, especially during the Soviet era, and you can still feel that touch of history today as you stroll between the historic villas and charming beach houses. Here, where the fine, light sand meets the shallow, clear waters of the Baltic Sea, an atmosphere of serenity is created. Many of the preserved Art Nouveau wooden houses almost transport you to another time and give the beach that little something extra. The sandy beach, which is pleasantly quiet in the off-season, is perfect for long walks - whether at sunrise when the first light touches the waves, or at sunset when the sky is colored in soft orange tones. Numerous works of art and small installations along the coast also remind us that Jūrmala is a place that harmoniously combines creativity and nature. The beach is also known for its sustainable efforts: the region strives to preserve its natural charm by responsibly managing coastal resources while promoting tourism.
