Kakumäe Beach

Kakumäe is one of Tallinn’s best modern sandy beaches: wide, open, and easy to love on a warm day — ideal for swimming, long shoreline walks, and sunset light.

Why Go to Kakumäe

Kakumäe has an airy, modern feel — more “big sky + wide sand” than “tiny city beach.”

It’s a great pick if you want a beach day in Tallinn that doesn’t feel crowded or cramped, especially when the Old Town is buzzing.

Best For

  • Swimming + sun time (with a lot of space)
  • Long shoreline walks
  • Sunset light without a big plan

If you want a beach day with a greener park vibe, compare it with Stroomi Beach.

How to Plan the Day

A simple Kakumäe plan:

  • Go midday → swim + walk → stay for golden hour

Then head back toward the city for dinner in Telliskivi or a waterfront evening in Noblessner.
