Questions About Our Harbour & Lighthouse Walks

Our South Pier walk takes about 90 minutes with 2-3 built-in rest stops at scenic viewpoints. The Seaside Promenade strolls are more flexible — we can adjust the pace and duration based on your comfort level, typically ranging from 60 to 120 minutes. We always prioritize enjoying the experience over rushing through it.

The Seaside Promenade is fully accessible with smooth, paved surfaces throughout. The South Pier walk has some uneven areas and steps, but we can customize a shorter accessible route if needed. Contact us before booking to discuss your specific mobility needs — we want to ensure you have a comfortable experience.

Wear comfortable walking shoes with good grip and dress in layers — the harbour can be breezy even on warmer days. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and a light jacket. We recommend bringing a water bottle and a camera if you enjoy photography. Check our preparation guide for a complete checklist.

Late spring through early autumn (May to September) offers the most pleasant weather and longest daylight hours. Summer is busiest but warmest. Each season has its charm — spring brings migrating birds, autumn offers golden light for photography, and even winter walks are beautiful if you enjoy quieter, crisp seaside air. We run walks year-round.

Absolutely! The Seaside Promenade has several cosy cafes and we often include a stop at a local spot during our walks. Our local cafes guide highlights the best places to rest with traditional Latvian pastries and coffee. Most venues are easily accessible and have comfortable seating.
