- Coastal dunes and beaches — wide, windswept Baltic beaches and shifting dune systems that feel properly wild; great for long walks, beachcombing and dramatic sunset light without the crowds you get elsewhere.
- Ancient coastal forests — wind-sculpted pine and mixed woodland right behind the shore, full of mossy logs and gnarly trunks; excellent for short hikes and that quiet, old-forest vibe you don’t expect on a coastline.
- Bogs and boardwalk trails — raised bogs with wooden boardwalks that take you over a tiny, otherworldly ecosystem of sphagnum, cranberries and insect-eating plants; peaceful and worth a lens or two.
- Birdwatching and migration corridors — the park sits on a migratory route, so spring and autumn bring concentrations of passerines, raptors and shorebirds; bring binoculars

- Birdwatching and migration corridors — the park sits on a migratory route, so spring and autumn bring concentrations of passerines, raptors and shorebirds; bring binoculars and a patience for seawatches from headlands and marsh edges.
- Mazirbe and Livonian cultural points — small fishing villages inside the park preserve Livonian heritage: wooden houses, a community feel and a few local museums/interpretive spots that explain how people have lived with this coast for centuries.
- Lookout towers and panoramic viewpoints — several observation towers and cliff edges give sweeping views over forest, dunes and sea; they’re the easiest way to get your bearings and spot elk, deer or just enjoy the scale of the park.
