Lithuanian beaches are very clean. If you are hungry just walk a few steps and be served directly at the beach. I don't know this from Germany.
Palanga is one of a few resorts
at the short lithuanian coast. Tourists are mainly young people and
wealthy families, displaying their luxury cars. They are usually well
dressed, especially women...! Palanga has a botanic garden with
an amber museum which is really worth to visit. You can see many pieces
with insects enclosed and finally you proceed to a shop where you can
buy nearly everything made from amber - from a simple chain to a sail
ship for € 4500.- .
