Strangers in the border area
Border guards have had a special way of finding out about strangers in the border area.
It happened in the middle of the eighties, when we lived near Jaunmuiza. One day, Russian-speaking army officers suddenly arrived, declaring that a very dangerous criminal, a murderer, had drowned. At the same time, they have reassured them that their soldiers will come and "comb" the surroundings. After the incident, the man reassured him that it was only training, but the mentioned officers were "provocateurs". The idea of such a method of intimidation has been "far-reaching" - for any local resident who has seen a stranger in the border area to report the fact immediately to the border guards.

The Soviet Border Guard Tower in this complex is one of the best preserved of its kind on the Latvian coast. Unfortunately, the condition of the buildings is poor, there is a rifle loading/unloading site on the site, and a drive and fragments of trenches have been salvaged.
The Coast Guard post was located in the former Marine School building. In the post-Soviet period, accommodation was offered in parts of the buildings.
The second tower of the Soviet Border Guard is located about 400 m from the beach, but unfortunately it is in a state of disrepair. However, the Mazirbe boat cemetery is located not more than 500 m from the beach tower towards Sīkrags.
