Shallow Stroomi beach is in Pelguranna, a neighbourhood favoured by Tallinn's Russian community. While the backdrop of ports and apartment blocks isn’t as pleasant as Pirita, sunlovers swarm to the long stretch of sand. There’s a distinct local buzz in summer. It's located 3km due west of the Old Town (a 20-minute ride on bus 40 from Viru Keskus or 48 from Freedom Sq).
