Description:

A brand new wooden boardwalk, built in 2019, constructed in two stretches, allowing to walk the path loop-type. One of the stretches is a little bit narrower and has stairs, the other is wider, without stairs. The path leads to a viewing site at the end of the trail, with a nice and spacious resting deck chair platform, where one can lie down, take a breath from the daily rush and enjoy the peaceful seaside landscape of Bernāti nature park.

During summer a seasonal boardwalk is available allowing people in wheelchairs and parents with baby-strollers access the beach and almost reach the water.
