Bulvikis Cape is the widest spot of the Curonian peninsula of 3,6 km wide. It is believed that name of the cape and the neighboring lagoon originates from the Curonian surname Bulvikis. There is one more explanation of the origin: in Swedish language “bolja” means a wave and “vik” means a bay, so the name might be originated from Sweden.

Before the great dunes were planted with forest, the Bulvikis Cape has been extremely growing: in 1837–1910 it would annually become longer by 7 m. in average. Now we observe the reverse process – the cape is being washed by the stream and it gets smaller and smaller without cease.

A splendid panorama of the coast of the Curonian Lagoon and the Ventė Cape opens from the Bulvikis Cape and the Lagoon. Given a good visibility, the other coast of the Curonian Lagoon seems to be very close, however, this impression is illusory: the width of the Lagoon between the Bulvikis Cape and Ventė Cape is more than 8 km, and the depth – approximately 3 m.
