About Smiltynė

Learn more about the host city, Smiltynė.

Smiltynė is a part of Klaipėda city municipality in Lithuania. It is located on the northern tip of the Curonian Spit, next to Kopgalis, which is at the very tip of the spit pointing into the narrow strait which connects the Curonian Lagoon to the Baltic Sea. Across the 0.5-kilometre wide (0.31 mi) strait, on the Lithuanian mainland, is the port city of Klaipėda. Ferries transport vehicles and people daily between the two cities across the strait, as there is no connecting bridge. Smiltynė serves as a public beach for Klaipėda residents, as ports take up the coastline around Klaipėda.
