A True Stronghold of Feminism Among the Sand Dunes
When Pärnu began developing as a resort in the 19th century and the first mud spa opened, the wealthier social class also found its way to the beach. At that time, etiquette strictly separated bathing areas for men and women—and this tradition has survived to this day. The right of women to enjoy nude sunbathing among themselves has even been discussed by Estonia’s Chancellor of Justice. Despite efforts to argue that a women-only area violates the principle of gender equality, Naisterand remains a strong symbol of Pärnu. According to Helena, spending time there offers the chance to enjoy the beach exactly as you are—in a safe and welcoming environment.
