Pärnu Beach
Pärnu rand
A long white sand beach along Pärnu Bay on the Gulf of Riga, with shallow water and gentle waves. It is Estonia's most famous summer resort beach.
Pärnu Beach stretches about 2 km, with fine white sand and a gentle slope. You can wander far out and still have water up to your waist, making it ideal for families. The beach is divided into a general area, a women-only area, and a nudist area. Facilities include lifeguard stations, beach volleyball courts, children's play areas, and cafés, with a leafy seaside park and spa buildings behind. Events such as the Pärnu Beach Festival are held in July, and the summer sunsets draw large crowds. Admission is free. Water temperatures in July and August are about 18–22 °C, and the off-season can be windy and cold.
