A seasonal closure is in force at the estuary of the Irbe River (the territory around its mouth). Entering the territory is prohibited from 01.04. to 1.08. No shops are available between Ventspils (Pārventa District) and Mazirbe. Also in the territory of Ķikana estuary from 1.04. until 1.08. ~ 600 m long beach and dune section is closed to visitors. During this period, people can cross it along the very shore of the sea without undue delay and keep the dog on a short leash.

Alternatives: A lonely forest road stretches through the forest and alongside the seacoast between Miķeļtornis and the Irbe River, Lielirbe village and Sīkrags village in the place where there used to be a narrow-gauge railway line connecting Mazirbe and Ventspils. It can be used in bad weather.
