There is a number of lovely european beaches in Estonia.Most of the public beaches are sandy and the average water temperature
is 18°C. Inland waters and some shallow bays are even warmer and ideal
for families with children.
Generally beaches offer catering and equipment rental services and most of them have playgrounds
with swings, roundabouts and slides. The most popular Estonian beaches
like Pärnu and Pirita in Tallinn, also have football and beach
volley courts for more active leisure time.
Estonia uses the flag
system to regulate swimming where green means it’s safe to swim, yellow
means swimming is not recommended but you can at your own risk and red
means “no swimming.” Lifeguards usually work on (official) beaches from
morning to late evening.
Estonia’s islands offer quite a different beach experience with their mostly untouched nature and remoter rustic feel.
