Where to kayak in Klaipėda and on the coast
The coastal region has the most water sports options in all of Lithuania.
The Curonian Lagoon
The largest and most interesting body of water for kayaks and SUP boards on the coast. The shallow shoreline is great for beginners. You can paddle along the Curonian Spit shore with views of the dunes. For anglers, the Curonian Lagoon offers perch, roach and pike. Keep an eye on the wind forecast, as the lagoon can get rough quickly.
The Danė river
For a calm paddle in the city center. From Klaipėda's Old Town you can paddle up the Danė past green parks. A short but very pleasant route after work or at the weekend. Suitable for both SUP boards and kayaks.
The Minija
One of the most beautiful rivers in Samogitia, flowing through the Minija valley. A calm flow and winding banks with old farmsteads. A great choice for a full-day or weekend kayak trip. About 50 km from Klaipėda.
The Šventoji and coastal lakes
The Šventoji river and the surrounding lakes (Lake Plateliai, 80 km from Klaipėda) offer calm paddling conditions. Lake Plateliai in Žemaitija National Park is one of the deepest and clearest lakes in Lithuania.
Which kayak or SUP board to choose on the coast
For the Curonian Lagoon we recommend stable kayaks, as there can be waves and wind. SUP paddle boards are great on calm days on the lagoon and the Danė river. For fishing on the lagoon, see our fishing kayak range.

We do not have a physical store in Klaipėda, but we offer personal advice by phone and email. All products are shipped with the manufacturer's warranty and in their original packaging.
Can I kayak or SUP on the Curonian Lagoon?
Yes, the Curonian Lagoon is one of the most popular places in Lithuania for paddling and kayak fishing. We recommend choosing calm days, as waves can build on the lagoon. For fishing, stable fishing kayaks with mount systems are a good fit. On a SUP board it is best to paddle in the sheltered bays near the shore and on the Danė river.
Which SUP board should I choose for the coastal region?
For the coastal region, where it is often windy, we recommend a longer SUP board with better tracking. The JBAY.ZONE Comet J3 (399 EUR) is great for the Curonian Lagoon and the Danė river. For calmer spots and beginners, the JBAY.ZONE Kame K260 (199 EUR) or the Aquatone Wave will do.
