Nida and the Curonian Spit

A small fishing and resort town sitting on the Curonian Lagoon, rustically picturesque Nida functions as the administrative center of Neringa municipality and the primary focus for tourism on Lithuania's section of the Curonian Spit. A number of these pictures were also taken in and around Smiltynė and Juodkrantė.
