Poulin Klavin (Latvian: Paulīne Klaviņa) one of only a handful of native speakers of Livonian language was born in Vaide. Poulin would help establish the Livonian folk ensemble "Līvlist".
One of the first dachas on Livonian coast was established here in the 1960s by the Gorniks family. Later its descendants called their famous clothing manufacturer and chain of shops "VAIDE".
Vaide is also the location of the summer residence for the former President of Latvia Andris Bērziņš.
There is also a private museum, a horn collection assembled over 40 years by the museum guide and former head of Slitere National Park Edgars Hausmanis.
There is also an old cemetery next to an artificial pond.
