Basanavičiaus Gatvė Pier
From the end of Basanavičiaus gatvė, a boardwalk leads across the dunes to the pier. The original wooden pier dated to 1888. By day, street vendors sell popcorn, ledai (ice cream), dešrainiai (hot dogs), alus and gira here. At sunset families and lovers gather here on the sea-facing benches to watch the sunset.
From the pier end of Basanavičiaus, a walking and cycling path wends north and south through pine forest. Skinny paths cut west onto the sandy beach at several points and, if you follow the main path (Meilės alėja) south onto Darius ir Girėno gatvė, you reach the Botanical Park where cycling and walking tracks are rife.
