Jaunķemeri, situated at the western edge of Jūrmala, is a tranquil resort destination celebrated for its profound connection to nature and wellness. Flanked by the Gulf of Riga on one side and the Ķemeri National Park on the other, this coastal town provides a unique blend of marine and forest environments. Historically developed as a health resort, Jaunķemeri remains a prime location for those seeking restorative treatments, thanks to its local hydrogen sulfide springs and therapeutic peat mud, which have attracted visitors for decades. The coastal experience here is defined by Jaunķemeru pludmale, a gorgeous stretch of pristine white sand backed by dense pine forests. This beach is significantly quieter than the central beaches of Jūrmala, offering a serene environment for relaxation, sunbathing, and taking long, contemplative walks along the water's edge. The shallow waters of the Baltic Sea are refreshing and great for wading. During the summer, the gentle sea breeze and the scent of pine create a truly invigorating atmosphere for beachgoers. Getting to Jaunķemeri is straightforward, with local transport links connecting it to the rest of Jūrmala and Riga. Visitors can easily combine a beach day with exploring the nearby Sloka Lake or walking the famous boardwalks of the Ķemeri bog. The culinary scene in the area features healthy, locally sourced meals often provided by the resort centers, as well as characterful cafes offering traditional Latvian snacks.
