Description:
A brand new wooden boardwalk, built in 2019, constructed in two stretches, allowing to walk the path loop-type. One of the stretches is a little bit narrower and has stairs, the other is wider, without stairs. The path leads to a viewing site at the end of the trail, with a nice and spacious resting deck chair platform, where one can lie down, take a breath from the daily rush and enjoy the peaceful seaside landscape of Bernāti nature park.
During summer a seasonal boardwalk is available allowing people in wheelchairs and parents with baby-strollers access the beach and almost reach the water.
Accessibility
For wheelchairs and baby-strollers the path is accessible out-and-back, as there are stairs on one of the stretches. There is quite a steep slope at the start of the wooden boardwalk, which can make it difficult for people in wheelchairs to get on the path, assistant is recommended.
Facilities
Dry toilet, not handicap-adapted
