Overview

Juodkrantė is a village on the Curonian Spit (Neringa), located between the Curonian Lagoon and the Baltic Sea in Lithuania. Like Nida, the spot offers two distinct water bodies.

On the lagoon side, waters are calm and shallow, ideal for kitesurfing in flat conditions. On the Baltic Sea side, conditions are more exposed. Westerly winds are most frequent and favourable.

Juodkrantė is known for its Witches' Hill and wooden sculptures. The village is part of the Curonian Spit National Park (UNESCO). The season runs from May to October. Suitable for beginners on the lagoon side and intermediates on the sea side.
