Why It’s Worth It
Laulasmaa is one of the easiest ways to get a proper sandy-beach feeling near Tallinn. It’s simple, low-effort, and exactly what you want after a day of Old Town cobblestones.
What to Do (A Beach Day That Actually Feels Relaxing)
A Laulasmaa day doesn’t need a checklist. The best version is repetitive in the best way:
- Walk
- Sit
- Snack
- Walk again
If you get the timing right, a long sunset walk can be the highlight of the whole Tallinn trip.
How to Plan the Day
Treat it as a “walk + breathe” day:
- Beach walk → long pause (snack/picnic) → beach walk → return
Back in Tallinn, finish with something cozy: Best Cafes or a sunset neighborhood like Noblessner.
Best Season
Laulasmaa is best in summer, but it’s also a great shoulder-season “wind and waves” walk if you dress for the coast.
Pair It With
If you want two nature moments in one day, combine Laulasmaa with Keila-Joa Waterfall (time and weather permitting).
