A pleasant but sleepy town on the edge of the sea, Svetlogorsk (formerly Rauschen, founded in 1228) lies just 35km northwest of Kaliningrad and makes for a quick and pleasant getaway from the city. The narrow beach is backed by steep sandy slopes, and pretty wooden houses set among tree-lined streets dot the little town. Avid sunbathers head to Zelenogradsk or the Kurshkaya Kosa for heavier beach action.
The city was fairly untouched by WWII. On Oktyabrskaya ul is a 25m water tower and the curious red-tile-domed Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) bathhouse. About 200m east of the main beach promenade is an impressive, colourful sundial, believed to be the largest in Europe.
