Yes, it is well found begbie.

An aerial shot of the spit looking south. This is a peninsula 97km long and max. 3km wide. To the left side is the Curonian Lagoon (Kurisches Haff) and to the right the Baltic coast. The view is of the village of Nida/Nidden, which is the admin.centre of the community of "Neringa" comprising all villages on the spit. Above Nida the Great Dune can be seen, and further up, just behind the larger peninsula, that's where Lithuania ends and "Russia" begins...

The Curonian Lagoon (or Bay, Gulf; Russian: Kуршский залив, Lithuanian: Kuršių Marios, Polish: Zalew Kuroński, German: Kurisches Haff) is separated from the Baltic Sea by the Curonian Spit.

In the 13th century, the area around the lagoon was part of the ancestral lands of the Curonians and Old Prussian people. Later it bordered the historical region of Lithuania Minor. At the northern end of the Spit, there is a passage to the Baltic Sea, and the place was chosen by the Teutonic Knights in 1252 to found Memelburg castle and the city of Memel. The town is officially called Klaipėda since 1923 when the Memel Territory was separated from the German Empire.
As the new Interwar border, the river that flows into the Curonian Lagoon near Rusnė (German: Ruß) was chosen. The river's lower 120km in Germany were called die Memel by Germans, while the upper part located in Lithuania was known as Nemunas River. The border also separated the peninsula near the small holiday resort of Nida, Lithuania (German: Nidden); the southern part of the Spit and the Lagoon remained in Germany until 1945.
