Juodkrante, Nida, Preila, March 2019

All three points are on the Lithuanian side of the Curonian Spit. (I also have a post about the Russian side.)

Juodkrante looks tidy.

On the Hill of Witches, the wind in the crowns makes a noise very similar to the sound of the sea.

Occasionally there is a sculpture-creepiness.

There are black houses in Nida! (I love black houses!) Nothing more to tell about it, off-season there is nothing happening there at all :-).

If staying overnight is better, it's in Preila. You can rent a house right on the bay there.
