Tartu: Club Maasikas
Pärnu: In summer, u must visit Estonian biggest and hottest beach

Yeah, Pärnu beach is the best in this region (Balticks/Scandinavia). I can tell you everything about that. And I think Ranka knows about the beach as well. I spend there like 50 days in a year (no joke) :D Theres great sand, no wind usually, air/water temperature is always a few degrees warmer, than anywere else, sea goes deep slowly and the bottom of the sea is sand only and also nice new promenade.

I have born in Pärnu, but still I think Lithuanian beach Palanga is more like vacation on the beach with tourist attractions and so on.
