People say no two sunsets are ever the same. Whether it’s the clouds or the scenery, there’s something unique about each and every one. There’s hardly anything as beautiful as seeing the sun going down in the Baltics. The sky turns a million shades of pink, you can lie back and enjoy the iconic nature turning into a romantic movie scene – if you know where to observe it best! Just choose any of the spots below and get ready for some magical views…
Estonia
Rummu Karjäär
The abandoned Soviet prison of Rummu above a former quarry has become one of the most beloved places for many visitors to the Baltics. It has now been turned into an epic beach, sort of Estonia’s own “blue lagoon”. By the way, remember Alan Walker’s music video “Faded”? It was shot at various locations throughout Estonia, the old prison of Rummu one of them.

Pakri Poolsar
Enjoy the sunsets on the coastal cliffs of Pakri in Paldiski – just 45km away from Tallinn. Besides amazing cliffs, this place is also known for the historical 52 metres high Pakri Lighthouse. Anyone with enough strength to climb to the top can observe the lantern room up close and have a royal view of the most colourful sunsets…

Ķemeri
The heart of Kemeri National Park is the most accessible bit of wilderness in Latvia, where you can gaze at pink-skyed sunsets. This is the kingdom of moss bogs and pristine nature. In fact, Kemeri is an excellent spot not only for sunsets but also for bird-watching. The national park organizes a bird-watching day in conjunction with the European bird-watching day to get the locals and tourists out and about. And at the end of the day make sure to wait for the sun to work its evening magic.

Veczemju Cliffs
Wondering if there are any other whimsical places in Latvia? Well… we have our own “Grand Canyon”! This is what it looks like. It’s a 12km long section of the seacoast, the only place around the Baltic Sea where you can see sandstone exposures right by the sea. Of course, we can guarantee a breathtaking pallet of sunset colours and many Instagram masterpieces.
