Exotic trees, shrubs and caulescent plants have been widely introduced in the park. As many as 173 species of trees were recorded during the last plant audit.

Liepāja Blue Flag beach

In fair weather, the beach is about 50-80 meters wide and its length - about 8 kilometers. The Blue Flag is hoisted at Liepāja beach at the beginning of each summer season since 2001, asserting compliance with 33 quality criteria for water, seacoast, security and services, as well as the availability of environmental education and information.

Liepāja beach has been a popular resort since the 1860s when the Russian czar, his family members and courtiers, started frequenting the seaside city. The beach has sparkling white fine sand, admired even by those who have visited some of the world’s most famous resorts. Pieces of amber, washed ashore along with algae and seashells, can be found on the beach after storms.
