Kolkasrags, Jūras Panemtiem
Kolkasrags, Jūras Panemtiem submitted by Alta-Falisa : To all the Seamen who never retuned. Photo : June 2014. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Modern monument erected as close as possible to the very tip of Cape Kolka, the limit between the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Riga.

This remote, unspoiled location, off the beaten tracks, offers windswept white sand beaches and a wild coastline, and is mainly visited by people who came on purpose.
