The city is located on the Baltic Sea. The water here does not warm up even in the season anymore +20-+22 °C. However, the beaches of Jurmala are full of tourists. Swimming is comfortable for about two months a year. The beaches stretch for 32 km. They are covered with fine light sand. The most popular – Dzintari, Majori, Dubulti and Bulduri are named after the districts. Most have a Blue Flag award for cleanliness and comfort.

The most popular venue for concerts in the city and one of the most popular in the country. Events have been held at this place since the century before last. But there was no full-fledged building for a long time. The construction of the great hall took place in 1962. In 2006, the reconstruction took place. The stage became five-level, which expanded the possibilities of its use. At the same time, there can be more than 2000 spectators in the Dzintari.

A business card and the first association with Jurmala among tourists. Its name translates as "sand waves". For a short time in 1999 it was named after Pushkin. The street was founded in the XIX century and is pedestrian. The end points are Majori Station and Jurmala Globe. Yomas is a venue for concerts and festivals. Here you can not only walk, but also sit in one of the many cafes.

It is located in the city center. On the territory there is something to do for both lovers of outdoor activities and those who prefer leisurely walks. For the former, a skate park, sports areas, and in winter - ski trails have been created. The second is to walk through a pine grove or in warm weather to relax among rare plants. There is a unique observation deck in the park all year round — a tower with 12 balconies.

The main attraction is "Dzintaru Mezaparks". Traditionally, it is included in the lists of the most unusual and interesting observation platforms in the world. The height is about 38 meters. The structure is built of metal and wood. The tower looks light because of its "porous" structure. It consists of stairs and 12 balconies. It lights up in the evening. Each of them offers a beautiful view of the surrounding area.

The composition of the exhibitions is similar to the Museum of local lore. However, the emphasis is on the tourist features of Jurmala. The exposition tells about the development of the city from the beginning of the century before last to the present day. Among the interesting sections is a collection of bathing suits, finds raised from the seabed, and postcards. The guides also tell about the merchant and military ships that plied the Baltic Sea in the past.

An unusual art gallery is located in the house of the artist Vitaly Ermolaev. Some time ago, the master patented the composition of paints. Using his own method, he creates paintings in the style of light painting. With certain lighting, the canvases become voluminous and it seems as if additional details appear from under the top layer. This completely changes the look of the picture.

The name is derived from the pseudonym of the former hostess of the house. Elsa Pliekshane was a poet and playwright. She and her husband lived here until her death in 1943. The building gradually fell into disrepair until it was restored in the 90s. Not only the blue and white facade was repaired, but also the interior was restored. A branch museum of the local Museum of Art was organized under the roof of Aspasia's house.

An unusual Gothic-style castle appeared in the city in the first half of the XIX century. It was built of wood and covered with iron. There is a botanical garden on the territory of the holiday complex. There are rare and exotic plants in the collection. The previous owners bequeathed the property to the University of Latvia. Now the facility is available for excursions, and is also rented for events, including weddings.

The construction of the bathing establishment was completed in 1916. All year round, the bathhouse received customers, offering a large selection of baths with herbs and extracts. After the war, the building was given over to a clinic. In the 80s, a large reconstruction was carried out and the exterior design was significantly changed. Later, they tried to return the initial design in order to preserve the historical value of the building. Tourists are not allowed to enter inside.

It was built from 1907 to 1909. The structure belongs to the typical representatives of Riga Art Nouveau. There are also some details of romanticism. In addition to believers who regularly come to services, the church is also interesting to tourists. There are three reasons – architecture in general, a tower towering over the neighborhood and organ music concerts. The church also has two choirs. Their performances are scheduled for several months ahead.

It was established in 1954. Dedicated to the hero of Latvian folklore. Lachplesis is called a dragon fighter and is credited with all sorts of feats. His name translates as "tearing the bear". According to legend, Jurmala residents wanted to give the sculpture to their sister city. And originally depicted was a completely different character. For unknown reasons, the present was not accepted, and the authors of the project remade the statue, giving it a new meaning.

Appeared on Yomas Street in the early 70s of the last century. The unusual monument serves as a meeting place. In 2015, it was seriously damaged during street construction work. The globe had to be dismantled. Difficulties arose during the restoration process: it was made by a method that is no longer used. For this reason, changes were made to the design. Already in 2016, he returned to his usual place.

It was installed in the Majori area at the entrance to the sandy beach in 1995. The size of the turtle is impressive. It is completely cast in bronze according to the project of the artist and sculptor Janis Barda. Tourists and locals like to take pictures next to the monument. It is durable and is not afraid of the constant encroachments of the public. Different meanings are attributed to the sculpture. Some associate it with the unhurried course of life in Jurmala.

We have been working on the implementation of this project since the 70s of the last century. A real fishing village has been created in the open air in memory of the past of Jurmala.

An unusual natural monument is located near the Prijedyne station. The features of the dune are its absolutely white color and perpendicular location in relation to the coastal line. According to researchers, its formation took 150-200 years. The reason for the dune is the breakthrough of the Lielupe River in 1757. The riverbed was restored, but an elevated sandy strip with a length of about 800 meters remained.

A natural attraction in the vicinity of Jurmala. This is a coastal area near the bay, which can be reached by the dunes. It is believed that the water is warmer here.

Although enthusiasts find unusual ways. There is a nudist beach nearby.

The territory of the park is covered with dunes and pine forest. Sandy hills stretch for about a kilometer. And the age of some trees reaches 300 years.
