Beach Day in Riga

'Summertime and the livin' is easy, fish are jumpin'… and the hens are just laying back and working on those pre-wedding tans. If you're hanging out with your best friends, then there is nothing quite so cool as hitting the beach. With this fantastic addition to your fabulous weekend, you and the girls could be 'sitting and chillin' like the Fresh Prince himself.

The world does have some pretty cool beaches but Jurmala Beach, just 15km from Riga really is up there with the very best of them. 26km of pristine, blue flag beach is exactly what you need to relieve the bride-to-be of all the stresses of wedding planning. The beach is in an area of outstanding natural beauty. 34% of the surrounding area is forest and the whole region has "Healthy Status". That doesn't mean there are plenty of treats to be had though and the beach has cafes and bars to keep you all well-nourished throughout the day.

There's also plenty of eye candy to keep the girls amused if you fancy a quick game of "Snog, marry and will you look at the Speedos on that?!?" You'll also find the LARGEST WATERPARK IN NORTHERN EUROPE on the doorstep.
