Taka (1,2 km) ved cauri kāpu mežam uz jūras krastu. Tā ir īpaši skaista pavasarī un vasaras sākumā – priežu ziedēšanas laikā: zemu zarotu priežu klājeniskie zari veido savdabīgus ziedošus paklājus. Apskatāma "Priežu mamma", iespējams, viena no senākajām ieputinātām priedēm jūras krastā. Pēc biologu vērtējuma tās vecums ir 200–300 gadi.

The shelf of Cape Kolka stretches into the sea for 6 km and it is bathed by the sea at a depth of 0,5-3 km. The waves of the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Riga meet on its shelf. During storms waves can reach a height of 7 m. This place is also known as a unique bird watching site, for the cape is crossed by the Baltic Sea – the White Sea birds’ migration route.
