Pärnu Mole
Pärnu muul
A stone breakwater running into the bay at the river mouth. At its end you can watch the sunset and seabirds, and a wishing stone is said to grant wishes.
The breakwater was built in the 19th century. It extends about 2 km from the west bank of the river mouth into the Gulf of Riga, constructed from large stones. Locals come here to watch the sunset, fish and observe seabirds. The round trip to the end takes about an hour. The surface is uneven stone, so sturdy non-slip shoes are needed. At the end is a wishing stone, and the local tradition is to walk out there and make a wish. In strong winds and waves, spray can hit the deck, so do not take risks. It can be reached on foot or by bicycle from the western end of the beach.
