Latvia Coast - Užava & Liepāja


Our third day of slowly exploring the Latvian coast had us staying in a riverside AirBnB in Užava. There's a beach there where the little river meets the sea, so that's a fun thing to see at the sea. We finished the day in Liepāja and stayed at a nice boutique hotel next to the big city park along the coast. We probably missed all sorts of things in this town because of our short stay. We followed the recommended walking tour on the map and that was it since we had one more destination on our agenda before heading home. We could see coming back here for a longer visit if we run out of other things to explore near us in Latvia.

"In memorial of the missing crew of the US Navy PB4Y2 aircraft shot down at sea off Liepāja on April 8, 1950." Their plane came down in the Baltic 14 miles west of Liepāja in international waters while on a reconnaissance mission, with Soviet forces claiming it had violated Soviet airspace over Latvia. lsm.lv
