While many may have arrived seeking sunbathing, the seaside is offering a different experience, characterized by stormy seas, wind, and salty air. The municipality humorously describes this as a "natural thalassotherapy" session, rich in sea salts, minerals, and iodine compounds.

According to the Lithuanian Hydrometeorological Service, Neringa can expect strong wind gusts of up to 25 m/s today. The forecast for the coming hours and tomorrow includes rain and continued strong winds. Therefore, the municipality urges everyone to "enjoy the seaside views responsibly."

We understand the disappointment of those who came to Neringa seeking sunbathing. However, today the seaside offers a completely different experience. Stormy seas, wind, and salty air are reminiscent of natural thalassotherapy: the sea air is rich in salts, minerals, and iodine compounds. A real seaside SPA.

Visitors are advised to maintain a safe distance from the waves and areas where water laps the shore. Due to the strong winds, caution is also advised near trees; people should avoid walking in forests, standing under trees, and parking vehicles beneath them if possible. For those seeking warmth not from the sun, Neringa invites exploration of its cultural spaces, exhibitions, museums, concerts, and events.

The municipality concludes by emphasizing the importance of self-protection and enjoying Neringa in all its facets.
