Historic Lighthouse Pillau on Baltiysk’s waterfront offers a striking vertical subject against the Curonian Lagoon and Baltic Sea. Photograph façades, sea-facing approach, and boats at golden hour or blue hour. Easily reached by car; street parking and promenade access. Interior access is limited—check local opening times. Visit weekdays early morning or late afternoon to avoid tourist groups; wind and clouds add drama.
