The park was founded in order to preserve the continental coastal landscapes/seascapes, the natural and cultural heritage properties, the biological diversity of the Baltic Sea, and the marine boulder beds.

The park boasts unique residual Lake Plazė (Plocis), continental dunes, an 18 to 20 m high bluff on the Baltic Sea, glacial boulder fields on the coast, and the Dutchman's Cap Hill, which is and has been a navigational guide for sailors and fishermen.

The highest point (24 m above sea level) is called The Dutchman's Cap (Olando kepurė), where both the beach and the seabed just offshore are littered with a layer of large stones polished by time and water.

Top of the Dutchman's Cap bluff, the roofs of the old military fortifications popularly called the ‘pillboxes’ or the ‘black fortress’, and the blind beside Lake Plazė[1] are good places for bird watching.

Kalotė boasts a manor house, an old school, and several old farmsteads while burials with stone kerbs (Called ‘circles’ in scientific literature,[3] they were common in the first half of the 1st millennium.)

The bike paths connecting Klaipėda with Palanga also provide access to the Dutchman's Cap Hill and Nemirseta observation deck, and Karklė ethnographic village.
