Service companies are starting to build 14 rescue posts, next week container toilets will be transported, of which there will be six on the beaches of Palanga and one in Šventoji.
A novelty for cyclists
Free toilets will be available from June, but if it’s hot at the end of May and people gather on the beaches, public services promise to open the toilets without waiting for the start of the summer calendar.
This week, a municipal sand-cleaning machine is already rumbling by the sea, due to clean the beaches of Palanga in June, and will move to Šventoji in early summer.
