Estonia's summer capital on the Baltic sandy coast
Pärnu is Estonia's favorite summer beach destination, a genteel resort town on the Baltic coast with Art Nouveau architecture, golden beaches, and warm (by Baltic standards) water. The city sits at the mouth of the Pärnu River and maintains a sophisticated, relaxed atmosphere—locals call it the summer capital. The beach promenade is perfect for wandering, and nearby wetlands offer bird-watching opportunities.
