Located on the right bank of the Daugava River, tranquil Mangalsala is dominated by dense woodland stretching from the boatyards and marine industry of the south to a Gulf of Riga shore in the north. Woodland trails, Soviet bunker ruins and military gun batteries dot the pine forest, while sprawling Mangalsala Beach features a lighthouse and down-to-earth seafront cafes.
