Pärnu Coastal Meadow Nature Trail
Pärnu rannaniidu matkarada
A coastal meadow reserve on the east side of the beach, with boardwalks and a birdwatching tower overlooking reeds, migratory birds and the sea.
The coastal meadow reserve lies right beside the eastern end of Pärnu Beach. It protects the low grassy meadows and reed belts along the Gulf of Riga, which are maintained by grazing and serve as a stopover for migratory birds. The loop trail of about 2 to 3 km includes boardwalks, paths through the reeds and a birdwatching tower overlooking the bay and the city skyline. In spring, waders and cranes can be seen on migration. Admission is free. The reserve suits morning or evening walks. There are many mosquitoes, and some sections become muddy after rain.
