Experience this spot in Tallinn. Popular location for swimming and paddling, water skiing, wake boarding, kayaking, canoeing, sailing, supping and wind surfing. Tallinn is the capital city of Estonia, located on the northern coast of the country, overlooking the Gulf of Finland. The area around Tallinn is mostly flat, with rolling hills and forests surrounding the city. The city itself is known for its medieval architecture and cobblestone streets, with many historic landmarks and a well-preserved Old Town. The coastline has sandy beaches and rocky cliffs, with small islands scattered offshore. The Harju County is also home to several national parks, including Lahemaa and Soomaa, which offer stunning natural scenery and opportunities for outdoor activities like hiking and wildlife watching.

Frequently asked questions
Is this lake safe for swimming?
Check the Conditions tab for surface state and wind conditions. Review the Quality tab if this is a designated bathing water. Always read recent community reports for local advice.
How cold is the water?
Check the Temperature tab for the current estimate and 7-day trend. Lakes hold heat longer than rivers but can develop a thermocline. The water below the surface can be dramatically colder.
What should I bring?
A tow float for visibility (especially important where boats operate), warm layers for after, and consider a wetsuit in colder months. Check for designated swimming areas.
