One person said: “There are many places to go on Palanga Beach and lots of fun.
“We actually ventured onto the women’s beach (you can go nude) this year and it was pleasant; there are shopping kiosks for women as you walk to the beach. I did not go nude – and that was okay.”
Another said: “Nice sandy beach with soft sand. Long pier that goes far out into the sea.
