What is the Estonian coastline? It is famous for its fishing villages, small marinas and pristine beaches, as well as bustling resort towns and major ports.

Sea resorts are suitable for those wishing to recuperate and recover from various diseases. Especially the Estonian seaside resorts are good for those who do not tolerate the sweltering heat and high humidity. Are you fascinated by a secluded getaway? Make a choice in favor of quiet recreation centers in Estonia. But if you want, you can relax on the islands of Vormsi or Saaremaa.
