Tallinn Bay

The Estonian capital city Tallinn is located on the southern coast of the bay.

[1] The islands Naissaar and Aegna border the bay in the north, the Viimsi Peninsula to the east.

[2] Paljassaare Harbour and Bekker Harbor by Kopli Bay are used for cargo traffic.

There are four public beaches on the coastline: Pirita, Stroomi, Kakumäe, and Pikakari.

In the Russo-Swedish War (1788–90) the roadstead became the site of a naval battle, in which the Swedish fleet suffered an unsuccessful attack on the Russian defence positions (see Battle of Reval).
