Wunderland

Top choice in Latvia


This bamboo hut is one of the best places on the coast to revel in the summer beach vibe. Right on the beach, it's a surfer hang-out where you can hear groovy tunes late into the night courtesy of the loaner guitar. They make their own cranberry juice, cider, kombucha and even gin. Lunch specials change daily and range from burgers to vegan.

Campsites are on a sandy expanse and are bargain priced.
