If you want to enjoy the beach without leaving the city, come to Anne Canal, just within walking distance of the centre of Tartu. The long golden sandy beach of the canal awaits sunbathers and sandcastle builders. The water is warm, so jump on in! Children can have fun on the swings, climbing ladders, and a slide.

The health trails around the canal, the outdoor gym, and the three volleyball courts are popular with health sports enthusiasts.

During the swimming season, you can buy food and ice cream from the beach and rent books. In winter, the canal is full of winter swimmers and skaters.
