RE: Visiting Ventspils, Latvia. Part I - The sea, the sand sculptures, and other little things.

I was really surprised that Baltic Sea is very swimmable in terms of the temperature. I was in Oslo in August 2015 and ended up going to a beach there and it was much warmer than some beaches in my home country (Turkey)

Sort:  

Yeah, it is because of the ocean connection that the Baltic Sea has, it is thin and not a lot of water change happens. Coincidently, Baltic Sea is also the second most polluted sea in the world as not much fresh water flows into it. It is a double edged sword.

That could be true since the water in Oslo was very muddy.
