Why this spot

Lithuania's amber capital: Tiskeviciai palace houses the Palanga Amber Museum and the town grew on amber craft and sea bathing

Palanga and Sventoji named as traditional beach-collecting localities in mineral-trade and amber literature; storm-wrack finds routine but individual finds less photo-documented than Curonian Spit
