Pärnu muul

About

Pärnu’s muul, the long stone jetty stretching boldly into the Bay of Pärnu, is one of the city’s most beloved landmarks. Built in the mid‑19th century to protect the harbour from drifting sand, it transformed Pärnu’s coastline and helped the town grow into a major Baltic spa destination. The construction was a remarkable engineering effort: thousands of granite blocks were transported from Saaremaa and carefully placed to stabilise the shifting seabed. The jetty is actually a pair of breakwaters—the North and South jetties—forming a dramatic corridor of sea and sky. The South Jetty, nearly two kilometres long, is the one visitors most often walk. For generations, strolling to the very end has been a local tradition, said to bring good luck to couples who kiss where the waves meet.

Location

Pärnu Muul is located at the end of the waterfront in Pärnu, on the coast near Pärnu Bay. It is one of the city’s best-known seaside landmarks and a very popular place for a relaxing walk, especially at sunset. The area around the mole is easy to enjoy on foot. Nearby you can visit Pärnu Beach, Rannapark, and the beach promenade, all of which are among the city’s main tourist attractions. The boardwalk area also connects well with the harbour and river mouth, so it is a nice place for watching boats, walking by the sea, or taking photos.
