Arriving by car

Take the New Port ferry and follow the signs once you’re on the other side of the water. The journey is just under 50km along a narrow winding road through the forested dunes. Inside a national park, you’ll need to pay 20Lt to get in at the checkpoint a few kilometres south of the ferry port. Be sure to stop at Juodkrantė for a look around on the way. If you’re travelling in a group, taking a taxi is an option. They often park up on the Smiltynė side of the water and cost somewhere in the region of 100Lt plus the entrance fee to the park depending on your negotiation skills.
