“What particularly attracts the Tallinners in Pirita is the sea. Good weather is a rare thing here, but Tallinners are accustomed to the local climate. The swimming season in Pirita opens in May when the water temperature is just 14–15°C. After a refreshing sea bath the sun is especially welcome.”
– T. Tomberg, Tallinn A Tourist Guidebook, Novosti Press Agency Publishing House, 1971/1972
