Local tips

• Entry fee for motorhomes: ~€20 per day (Neringa municipality toll).
• Book the Klaipėda–Smiltynė ferry in advance for summer weekends (15 min crossing).
• Wild camping is strictly prohibited — use designated sites only.
• The spit is narrow (some points < 400 m); parking is tight for large units.
• Best amber picking is after storms — morning walks at Nida beach.
