Why Pärnu matters

Pärnu has been an Estonian seaside resort for more than a century. The main beach is long, shallow and sandy, backed by a park, a spa and a promenade lined with pavilions. The old town is small and peaceful, with a main street of wooden houses. In summer the beach and town are busy, in winter they are calm, and spa hotels offer mud baths and saunas.
