Kalarand

Kalarand is a beach on the northern coast of Tallinn that stretches between historic waterfront structures and maritime areas. The shoreline features changing facilities, sunbathing platforms, and seating areas that provide direct access to the water.

This location originated as a fishing harbor and processing area situated between key waterfront landmarks. During the Soviet era, it became a restricted border zone before eventually reopening to the public as a recreation area.

Local artists transformed this waterfront into a meeting place by adding platforms and seating areas that reflect how the community uses and values this space. The area has become a place where people gather to enjoy the sea and connect with each other.

The beach is easily reached through the Kalamaja district and offers a natural swimming spot within the city. Water quality is monitored to ensure safety, and facilities are most accessible during warmer months.

Despite its proximity to harbor areas and industrial structures, the shoreline maintains its own natural balance and ecosystem. This combination of urban setting and natural waterfront creates an unexpected retreat in the heart of the city.
