Description:

Užava is one of the oldest settlement locations on the Baltic Sea coast. The boardwalk starts at the Užava River mouth, where the river flows into the sea and allows to see the unique values of the Nature Reserve – the gray dunes and rare species of plants, moss, lichens, birds. There is a parking lot with a nice resting, picnic and tenting area nearby, though not adapted to people in wheelchairs. The beach sand area is not accessible, so it will not be possible to reach the water in a wheelchair.
