Toila
Spend a half‑day in Oru Park and the Toila Spa, stay one night if you want a beach break; otherwise a quick stop works.
Toila is a small coastal town in northeastern Estonia, known for its seaside park, spa hotel and nearby limestone cliffs. It is easy to explore on foot, but a car or occasional bus helps reach surrounding sights. One night lets you enjoy the spa and sunset; a day‑trip is enough for a quick visit.
