A legend says that once a terrible storm threatened with imminent death for a ship in the Baltic Sea. The captain was the only one who believed God will save them. He promised to build a church in place where his ship will lead.

A miracle happened: suddenly the wind changed the direction and the ship led to Jūrkalne shore. The captain named the place Lucky Hill and he built the church as he promised. The place, where the church was, is underwater now.

Folklore Latvia folk song 1

Jūriņ, mana māmuliņa,

Daudz tu man labu dari:

Tu man maizes devējiņa,

Tu man mīļi vizināji.

Folklore Latvia Folk song 2

Kas kait man nedzīvot

Lielas jūras maliņā:

Cik jūriņa viļņus meta,

Tik izmeta sudrabiņu.

The coastline of Kurzeme. One of the wildest, yet at the same time cleanest territories in Latvia, where nature untouched by civilisation comes together with beaches favoured by holidaymakers and modern port cities. Interesting nature objects, original cultural-historical regions – this is the Kurzeme coastline.

The natural diversity of Vidzeme Provides Ample Opportunities for leisurely walks along the rocky sea shore, as well as wild boat rides and skiing. Here one can Admire the Grandeur and splendor of nature's scenery and feel the ancient power That still FLOWS through the mighty castles and old city streets.

Located along the coast of Vidzeme are Saulkrasti, Ainazi and Salacgriva. The quiet peace of the towns Allows for uninterrupted relaxation, to enjoy the rocky shores and cliffs. At the Beginning of July, during the Fishermen's Festival, the coast comes alive with the smells of smoked fish, markets and concerts.
