Saulkrasti, Latvia offers long beaches and serene pine forests just an hour from bustling Riga. The 4km trail through fragrant woods to Balta Kapa's big dune is perfect for peaceful picnics and refreshing dips in the Baltic Sea, which feels delightfully warm like Mediterranean waters in July or August. As August temperatures hover around +17°C, it’s a delightful escape from summer heat, ideal for those who love cooler coastal weather.
