• In Latvia, the Baltic Coastal Hiking Route mainly goes along sandy beaches, in some places, rocky beaches, and for short stretches, through coastal meadows. In some areas, the sand may be soft, which makes walking difficult.
• The itinerary can be completed in all four seasons. Whichever season is chosen for setting off, there will be both advantages and disadvantages.
