Beach Park is the green corridor that makes the walk from town to the sea feel like part of the holiday. Paths wind through mature trees, lawns, playgrounds, and old resort buildings before delivering you to the sand. On a hot day, the shade is not a luxury.
The park also preserves Pärnu's character as a spa town rather than just a beach town. Slow down here. The villas, pavilions, and sanatorium architecture around the edges are as important to the mood as the beach itself.
