Top 10 beaches in Estonia

Estonia's lakes and Baltic Sea coast have beaches for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports. An unconventional beach holiday awaits!

Experience sun, sand, and pure northern waters.

With over 3,700 km of Baltic coastline, Europe's fifth largest lake, and various lakes of all sizes, Estonia has plenty of beaches to explore. Some are long, empty expanses of sand made for hours of strolling. Others are rocky and guarded by historic lighthouses. Many are equipped with conveniences like toilets and on-duty lifeguards. Urban beaches in Tallinn and Pärnu or lakeside towns like Viljandi and Võru make it easy to combine a lazy afternoon on the beach with an active city break.
