Tallinn has five official beaches and a handful of others that dot the coastline. Here we have listed the top four. While we give directions how to get to all of these beaches using public transport, on a nice day it's just as easy to take a bicycle or roller-blades using the city's network of paths. Under each entry we also have a website listed so you can check the current conditions.

Beach season officially begins on June 1st in Estonia, warmer days in May though will find many locals already getting a head-start on their tans, but the water won't be warm enough to swim in - for 'normal' people. August 31st is the official end of beach season ie. they will no longer have lifeguards or other facilities such as vendors. That doesn't mean that you still can't go for a swim though and the water often stays warmish well into September.
