Analyzing the geometric interaction between land sediment and Baltic Sea water boundaries

Named Capes and Coastal Projections within Curonian Spit National Park, Lithuania

The capes of Curonian Spit National Park serve as significant markers along the narrow sandy peninsula separating the Baltic Sea from the Curonian Lagoon. These projections represent critical points where the shoreline direction shifts, shaped by millennia of sediment deposition and coastal currents. By examining these landforms in detail, visitors and researchers can better understand the dynamic relationship between the park landscape and the shifting coastal environment.

Beaches

A beach is a shore zone composed of loose sediment such as sand, gravel, pebbles, cobbles, shells, or volcanic material. Waves, currents, wind, sediment supply, and changing water levels continually shape its profile and extent. The type represents the physical shoreline feature, whether coastal or inland, and does not imply a managed bathing area, permanent sandy surface, or recreational facility.
